Pattern? A Moslem male pilot rallied the pax (and I'm sure many of them were also Moslem males) to thwart a hijacking.

The plane was Mauritanian. Mauritania has a 99.84% Moslem population. (source: wikipedia). So, maybe they should just profile 99.84% of their passengers and crew?

By the way, please tell me what a Moslem looks like. I'm sure they all look alike and are easy to profile. (I have on a number of times been asked in Arabic by Palestinians if I was Arab. If they can't tell, how do you expect the TSA to be able to tell? You think a hijacker will have honest ID and will not lie?)
