I hope that this was a one-time incident.
One-time for her hopefully, but I'm certain other passengers are subjected to this bull on a daily basis.
Behavioral profiling
does not work in an airport termianl environment. At best, it may be useful as an adjunct to conducting interviews; for picking people out of a line up it is useless even for trained, competent practitioners. The TSA's "officers" don't come close to that definitiion.
