And in the continuing quest to thwart anti-terrorism efforts by alienating the Muslim community, a former British police chief has got stuck into them. "I'm a white, 62-year-old, suit-wearing ex-cop - I fly often, but do I really fit the profile of a suicide bomber?" he asks. Perhaps not, although fellow critic of political correctness Theodore Kaczynski turned 64 this year.

ETA: Looking at this a month later I am still embarrassed by the lameness of my comparison with the Unabomber. To be honest, though, I'm still unclear on whether profiling is a sensible policing strategy; or just an excuse for tarring a whole community with the same brush.

Although, Kaczynski always looked a bit like a weirdo, and conducted himself in a weirdo-like way...at least, he *was* by the time he was making parcel bombs :p
