TSA Scanners vs. Profiling Redux

The key bit:

    Turns out Ms. Murphy -- who did not fit the profile of a terrorist or 
act like one -- had been given a bomb by her Jordanian boyfriend. In this 
case, only physical examination of her luggage revealed the device. But 
that wouldn't work with some of the more recent al-Qaeda bombers, who are 
secreting explosives in their underwear or elsewhere on their person. The 
only way they can be reliably detected is with the body scanners and 
pat-downs that the TSA is now rolling out.

Um, maybe it's just me, but it seems to me that there might be a *huge* 
difference between the behaviour of someone who has stashed explosives 
within his own clothes (or body cavities) and someone who was absolutely, 
innocently unaware of the fact that her boyfriend was using her.
