| #4 So TW, you think 'security profiling' is redundant when discussing muslims, rather than simply a clich'e? |

| #3 I remember wearing long hair in the 60's. Boy, that'd get you pulled over. But then, if you weren't breaking any law there was no problem. |

| #2 Profiling is a major part of any police work. He looked suspicious so I pulled him over. He was driving a low rider car in Beverly Hills, it will get you pulled over. Driving a low rider truck anywhere in Florida will get you pulled over. It's profiling. So what. The police are charged with looking for something out of the ordinary and investigating it. It's all good. |

| #1 Pleonasm (pliːənæzəm); Greek: πλεονασμός, pleonasmos, from πλέον, pleon, "more; too much") is the use of more words or parts of words than is necessary or sufficient for clear expression: examples are black darkness, burning fire, or people's democracy. Such redundancy is, by traditional rhetorical criteria, a manifestation of tautology. That being said, people may use a pleonasm for emphasis or because the phrase has already become established in a certain form. |
