It's one thing if you see some guy lighting a fuse sticking out of his shoe, and quite another if you say "You look kinda terroristy; I'm sending you off the plane." This works as a reasonable strategy only if:
a. The probability ratios don't work out so that the overwhelming majority of people you throw off planes are innocent.
Provided the number of people you throw off planes is rather small, I don't see the problem. --digsig James A. Donald 6YeGpsZR+nOTh/cGwvITnSR3TdzclVpR0+pr3YYQdkG jppN6hyI9eo1ip7n6mKRd1QNRbKAQeKb06J6pxY2 4NqUTiLGU0XOpAJ3Rm5yFmdrm/+4BWSzcv6y9YT/U
