They could have specified to be very suspicious of Mid-eastern males and disregard little old ladies but this would be profiling and we wouldn't want this, would we?

I don't know that profiling would be the best route, in this situation.

For example, this warning:

A buyer has little or no understanding of the product he or she is requesting or the commercial activity in which he or she is supposedly engaged.

Could easily be done by any number of white guys looking to make a quick buck. Straw-men are aplenty when you have enough money.

Don't make the mistake of fighting the last battle over again. Terrorists will learn from their mistakes. If the profiling heat gets too hot, they will likely find any number of disgruntled/criminal/druggie/believer/traitors among us who will buffer their acts and hide their actions.
