re: #311 Slumbering Behemoth

Visual cues, facial expressions/ticks, body language, subtle hints in responses to questions. This kind of profiling does work, and has been used successfully for centuries by those who know what to look for.

Whether or not TSA agents can successfully be trained to employ such techniques is another question.

Sure, that’s true, but that is NOT what people who talk about profiling mean, it’s sure as hell not what Palin means.

And, as I said above, the people who whine about TSA’s procedures would not appreciate El Al’s.
