### Yes, but do they pay the same amount of additional attention (watching,
more extensive personal searching, extensive questioning?) to her as they
would to a cohesive group of young, well-muscled males? Should they? I am
not questioning the need to apply basic precautions to everybody, I only
want to know why advanced testing should not be guided in part by
statistical data, especially related to characteristics which are difficult
to dissemble.
