The shameful aspect of this “intelligence” is that it misdirects LEO energy in unfruitful directions.

One caller to the local Columbia radio station remarked that most murderers and pedophiles who voted probably voted for either a Republican or Democrat. So, statistically speaking, a McCain or Obama bumper sticker is more meaningful than one this report identifies as radical.

(Speaking of statistics, anyone seen Driving While Black has an 80% probability of being an Obama voter, is that pertinent to the topic?)

I am going to write a nasty-gram to the head of the MO Hwy Patrol and suggest if they really wanted to break new ground, they could start collecting real data in the form of photos of the rear bumpers of all the perps from now on, and they could correlate that to whatever real crimes these real perps had done.

This would be a productive change from perpetuating culture stereotypes that sadly pervades some gung-ho people in “security”. Happily, it is a lot easier at the state level to persuade cooler heads to prevail. At the federal level, we get the thinking that lead to Ruby Ridge and Waco instead.

Yeah its pretty funny they'll profile a bunch of white guys with a "Don't Tread on Me," but a bunch of muslims in head gear can board a plane unabated while granny is getting a flashlight and cold finger discount.
