//Then - what about single women travelling alone? //
When I was on an aircraft operated by Air Malta at Luqqa airport in the New Year our flight was returned to the stand prior to take off and three separate Muslim women were asked to come forward individually and step off the aircraft by the Operations Manager.
They had flown to Malta and were on this transfer flight to the UK from Cairo. One had children and another,apparently was not on the flight manifest in the name given. They all had to identify their luggage which I assume was searched. One male from the Cairo transfer flight, who happened to be sitting across the aisle from me was also oiked off.This necessary action delayed our take off by two hours but I later learnt that there had been a terrorist outrage in Egypt just after these people took off for Malta.I was quite relieved that the Muslim guy fell asleep immediately after take off. To the best of my knowledge there were no complaints with regard to the flight delay from fellow passengers. Only the guy from Egypt's transfer flight.
//They obviously wouldn’t be able to identify all, but beards, clothing, and ethnicity and are often good indications //
an adherent of islam celebrating his faith with a sharia-compliant beard and wearing the shalwar kameez is unlikely to be planning an atrocity, simply because his appearance will draw attention. it's the guys in smart casual attire that would be on the radar....

I agree with Andy. Let's have more politically correct profiling.

I think any one operating in airport security and immigration have a damn good idea who are likely suspects and may need closer scrutiny. API may help to some extent and Passport scanning. No matter how clean shaven or attired I reckon spotters are trained to interpret mannerisms and body language. Again. When I was queuing in a long line at check-in I looked behind me and saw a gentleman who was obviously a plain clothes police officer or immigration observing the passengers in the line.
My late sister in law was a BA ground stewardess at LHR. They were trained to make observations at the check-in desk and used a special coding on the boarding pass or other means.

Step forward Samantha Lewthwaite, minus her headwear, and she is straight through, on board, and getting a complimentary drink before you can say "Bomb!".
Looks like your stereotyping has a few kinks to be ironed out!!
