Tasty Profiling

Better watch what meal you order for your flight! It could mean you are a terrorist.

Virtually every person entering and leaving the United States by air, sea or land is scored by the Homeland Security Department's Automated Targeting System, or ATS. The scores are based on ATS' analysis of their travel records and other data, including items such as where they are from, how they paid for tickets, their motor vehicle records, past one-way travel, seating preference and what kind of meal they ordered.


Of course I'm not saying that they shouldn't do this. But I'm not sure about the efficacy checking their meal. Vegetarians are terrorists!
