Bruce Schneier writes very well on this, but he also holds up Israel's method as the way to do things, where people are "profiled" by "trained agents" for extra scrutiny, based on their behavior.

And while I'm dubious about claims that all those brown people are "randomly selected" in the USA, there would be serious pushback if the official public policy at US airports was one of racial profiling.
