Maybe some form of degree involving psychology? If your job is to find certain types of people, understanding how and why we do what we do might be of some help.

If they were allowed to profile, we won't hear any stories about five year old girls being groped and ninety year old grandmas given strip searches because their dentures looked suspicious. Judging from their actions, they have very little leeway in deciding what is dangerous and what is not. They never talk to people, never make contact with them for more than a split second, and mostly rely purely on either technology or good old groping. You do not need psychology degree for that.

Then I thought about it and arrived at some conclusions. I do not think I have "so much" insight - it's a regular awareness of the world surrounding us. If you have more insight, you are most welcome to share and provide the missing information, more information is always better.
