I have no problem with the "softer" approach you suggest, looking for people acting suspicious......AS LONG AS how someone is dressed or what color their skin is isn't one of the factors used.
I also think the backscatter machines, at what, $300,000 a pop last I heard? Are a waste of taxpayer dollars, when the only thing they would have prevented was the Underwear bomber. They would NOT have prevented someone from carrying something up their ass, or more importantly, in their bag.
