I agree you can always trust your instinct to tell you the right thing to do, and while you called it profiling, like you said, who the heck cares if it could save lives. If you can justify observing any person's behavior as a threat and reporting it to the proper authority you're doing the right thing. I'm probably one of the biggest paranoid chickens here, but I'd like to think if I knew the person or not, if it turned out I was wrong, I could face them and say something like, "Hey dude, really sorry about that, but you were doing "X" and "Y", and then you did "Z" and it scared the crap out of me."

Sometime I'll tell ya about my neighbor Zaki the Whacky Paki. If I wasn't otherwise sure, I'd say this guy was a mole waking up. This guy and his wife give us hours of chuckles with the things they do.
