 Two people are approaching the turnstyle waiting to get on the New York City subway. Which one do you pick to check their bags? Hmmm... Could it be that decidedly Middle Eastern Guy with the turban on the left, or the little girl with pigtails on the right?
You're saying: "This is a trick question, right? The chances of that little girl being a terrorist is pretty small, the chances of that over 6 foot Middle Eastern guy is much greater. I'd pick the guy on the left.
BZZZZZZZZTTTTTTT!!!!! You lose. You have committed...
RACIAL PROFILING!!!!

Robert Lawson, a Bloomberg spokesman, said that the police already have adequate safeguards. "The mayor has repeatedly stated since the start of this policy that there would be zero tolerance for racial profiling," Lawson added.
What a bunch of morons.
