Come to think of it, I am suggesting both religious and ethnic profiling AND gender profiling as well. Most offenders have been male.

If it works (and it demonstrably does work!) for the Israelis, it will work for us.

Of course you are. But my comment was tongue in cheek. Also, of course, it does work. In fact it is the only thing that makes sense in the investigation of many crimes including terrorism. Investigators look for M.O. in any crime. In a lot of cases profiling is mandatory to finding M.O. and to solving the crime. Especially "serial" crimes. The PC Police unnecessarily tie the hands of law enforcement by playing the "no profiling" card. They are usually opposed to law enforcement anyway unless the crime is against a tree.

Pay close attention here: Most of those who've been stopped, caught in the commission of their acts have been male. From the aircraft hijackings of the 1970s to the Lod massacre to some bombings where the bomber escaped unrecognized, female terrorists have operated with more success than they deserved to get away with. And in the last couple of years, female suicide bombers have received more success and less security detail attention than they deserved. That's been corrected, but whether it will offer improved results is a bit soon to tell.
