I started responding to RB's comment before yours was posted. If you want to apply the same principle then yes it would apply as well.



My argument is this. If we are now doing searches in subways to make sure that there are not terrorists going with bombs, what would you feel safer with? A. a totally random search in which a mother with three children is just as likely to be searched as someone from the demographic as all the recent terror attacks or B. search the people who fit the description of people who have been committing these terrorist attacks?

I'm with option B. I'm sure if you're life depended on it you're choice would be different.
