I just read this article on boingboing, orinigally from the Washington Post. Doesn't the behavior part of it makes you think of some aspies?

http://www.boingboing.net/2005/08/04/ne ... eline.html

<i> According to the newspaper, the guide recommends that if lethal force is needed to stop someone who fits a certain behavioral profile, the officer should "aim for the head." The intent is to kill the suspect instantly so the person could not set off a bomb if one is strapped to the person's chest, the newspaper said. Among signs to look for listed in the police organization's behavioral profile are wearing a heavy coat in warm weather, carrying a backpack with protrusions or visible wires, nervousness, excessive sweating or an unwillingness to make eye contact, the Post said. </i>

And that's supposed to make people feel safer? 8O

Still, it's pretty funny. :lol:
