Randy Newman, “Short People”
You don't have to look outside the U.S. Google "civil asset forfeiture" -- many police departments, especially in the South, have enriched themselves by confiscating cash, vehicles, etc. on the pretext that the folks possessing them were engaged in criminal activity. Undoubtedly some of them were, but pity anyone innocently transporting significant amounts of cash who gets pulled over.
Not if you are carrying a basket ball.
Unless you’re on the opposing team.
And a little over a foot taller than my wife...
She is always telling me she wishes she had been tall enough to be a model. I keep telling her if she was taller I would not have married her. She has a hard time finding clothes that fit. Seems like current styles in the area are, uh... let's say XL, black and hooded. She really dislikes it when shopping for clothes and the sales person directs her towards the children's section.
Define “passenger profiling”.
Only two things I can add which may not help much:
I was about 5 people in line behind the kid at Aspen that they made drink the pond water he was taking home for science class…he got REALLY sick afterward, according to the media.
Can't answer your specific question, but I will add that Hijacking pre-9-11 was a very different kettle of fish. Usually ended up being an unscheduled flight to Havana. Generally little risk of death. Security was more focused on trying to find the communist radical vs the suicide pilot.
