Because once it is admitted that government be allowed to look for crime or potential criminals in the logical places or among the people most likely to be committing crime, it opens the door to pry into the personal lives (like if you look weird on the street corner) of Leftists, who of course have a great deal to hide because Leftist are disconnected from conscience. They have to be to live the reality-denying lives they do and to hold the unrealistic views they are known for. 'Profiling' removes the barrier the Leftists hide behind, pretending that the extreme universe they occupy is just fine because they are not subject to the standards of this one.
