What have you learned about "profiling"?
What does the word mean in law enforcement terms?
Once you are clear on that, then think about the different ways profiling is used -- by everyday citizens, by policemen, by TSA and others at airports, etc.
Make lists. You are very unlikely to be able to put all this together right off the top of your head.
Once you have that clarified for yourself (and your lists/brainstorming done), then think about whether profiling is always negative or always positive or a combination. Are there times when profiling SHOULD be done? Are there times when profiling SHOULD NOT be done? Give reasons for every statement you make.
In this discussion, discuss the use of profiling by law enforcement agencies.
