Yet another profiling conundrum

Allen Weingarten writes:

At our discussion group, the issue came up on how to deal with explosives placed in body cavities, or grafted elsewhere on or inside the body. It was suggested to place any suspect in a bomb-proof booth, and then detonate any explosives within that booth.

My objection was that after many suspects had been detonated, it would be noted that whereas Muslims are only one percent of the population, they would turn out to be 99 percent of the explosees—which is a clear case of profiling.
