Airline Passenger Detained Had Bomb-Making Materials in Bag

Did passenger profiling by behavioral specialists result in the apprehension of a man atttempting to carry bomb-making materials in his luggage onto a flight in Orlando?  That's the impression one might draw from this report of the incident:

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man behavior specialists spotted acting suspiciously was detained after components used to make pipe bombs were found in his luggage at Orlando International Airport.

Officials said agents noticed something about the man's body language that prompted officers to move in near the Virgin Atlantic and Jamaica Airlines ticket counters.

A portion of the Terminal A in front of Virgin Atlantic was closed Tuesday afternoon and passengers were evacuated.

The man, believed to be Jamaican, and his bags were then searched by bomb squad members.

During the search, bomb materials were found in at least one of the man's bags.

"This appears to have been a serious matter with the potential for tragic consequences, and the incident is being thoroughly investigated," ranking member on the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure U.S. Rep. John Mica said in a written statement.

However, apparently it didn't take as much training as it might initally appear to spot this guy.  The report continues:

Passengers waiting to board flights said they noticed the man acting suspiciously before agents moved in.

"He looked rather crazy," a passenger said. "He was rocking left and right and up and down. He looked a little wacko."

Oh.

I guess everybody's a behavioral specialist then.
