old ladies DO look alike!

Today, according to the AP, state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat from Brooklyn, spoke out in favor of racial profiling of terror suspects, saying "They all look a certain way."

Of course! The 9/11 bombers, the terror suspects in London, John Lee Malvo, and Timothy McVeigh are practically all wearing the same fraternity sweaters.

Also, on NPR this morning, a terrorism expert pointed out that, while we haven't much seen this in America (yet), there have been over 500 female suicide bombers, mostly Turkish women.

(From Radar: A man attempted to get searched at a subway station by dressing as a Saudi sheik).

The NPR expert also cited certain factors used in the NYPD's attempts to profile based on suspicious behavior, instead of race. These factors include:
  • prays repeatedly
  • wearing baggy clothes in summer
  • smells like flower water
So ... I think the NYPD just profiled a whole lot of grandmas.
