If this holds up, it will be another nail in the racial profiling coffin. I know most advocates thereof descibe a "young, male, Middle-Eastern or Southeast-Asian" profile.

I actually recall arguing with one such advocate who poo-poo'ed my remarks that women (such as the Chechnyans who carried out the Russian plane bombings a couple of years back) would serve as suicide bombers and would have many avenues of concealing explosives open to them that men would not.

I was told, "Osama and his like hate women and would never let them participate in a terrorist plot."
