Give a dog a bad name...

There's much talk at the moment about airports moving from a blanket screening approach to passenger profiling - that is identifying passengers who may pose a threat and concentrating their security efforts on them. Just how you go about identifying such passengers is a matter of contention. But it seems that teachers are way ahead of them - reports suggest that teachers in the reception classes at primary schools have identified potential trouble-making children before the school year even starts by simply looking at the register. They have already earmarked children with names like Callum, Kyle, Chelsea and Demi as most likely to be disruptive, whereas those called Christopher, Daniel, Rebecca and Sophie for example are unlikely to cause them any trouble. Interesting??
