I don't make them up. How many air plane incidents in say the last 10

Never heard of the Black Widows?

Don't give me the hate group nonsense. If I am looking for terrorists I
am not going to be wearing a turbin padding down an eldery white nun
living 30 years in Arkansas I am going to get no where.

Profiling has had some successes with single individuals. When you are
talking of a terrorist organization, it will just look for whackos that
don't fit the profile. By the way, Mohammed Atta doesn't fit your
profile. He was 33.

Looks like Ruskies have some fiesty and deadly women. Did they do a US
airliner?

33, he would fit. I said young, not kids... say 14 to 40.

I never claimed profiling will get them all, just a method of spending
20% of the resources for 80% of the effect. Then you have 80% of the
resources to go after 20% that remain. Increases the odds of being
effective.

And add all terrorist groups, even domestic skin heads.

Although you are correct, profiling shines a light on certain races and
classes of people. We can't allow that to happen. ;-)

It isn't fredoom of speach, nor freedom to bomb, it would usually be 5
minutes of questions and not a carte blanc to just walk on unchecked.
Bet some skilled border type would have nailed him if profiles and some
special 5 minutes of questions rattled his cage.

Ever wonder why border people ask the dumbest things? It is to test
your reaction. A discovery of your demeanor if you will.

It isn't like a back room beating is going to happen. Unless of course
some drugs/chemical explosives drops from their crotch.
