This profiling may be relevant for whether to allow certain individuals to fly at all, but I believe it is dangerous to apply such profiling to the search procedure to prevent dangerous items entering the sterile area.
As I tried to highlight earlier, if a certain type of person is allowed to have a lesser degree of potential weapon detection screening than another type of person, that person will be targeted by the terrorist as an easier way to get their weapons into the sterile area.
