There's a truly wonderful recent 2d Circuit dissent -- cite available on request -- that lists a select cross-section of profile attributes that courts have upheld, such as: - getting off the plane first - getting off the plane last - getting off the plane in the middle - dressing in expensive clothes - dressing in grungy clothes - dressing in nondescript, all-black clothes - buying a one-way ticket - buying a round-trip ticket etc. ad nauseam -- 819 F.2d 451 Mark Eckenwiler [e--k] at [panix.com] ...!cmcl2!panix!eck
