CNN published this story about the capture of Warren Jeffs. It’s an interesting read. However, what I think is a more important part might go unnoticed by most people.

A paper license tag, a salad and stories that didn’t make sense pricked the suspicions of a state trooper who stopped the car of a wanted fugitive polygamist in Las Vegas.

But it was the pumping carotid artery in the neck of Warren Steed Jeffs that convinced Nevada Highway Patrolman Eddie Dutchover that he had cornered someone big.

This is an excellent example of security “Done Right”. Dutchover correctly applied behavioral profiling. It takes a smart person with the right training to be able to correctly do behavioral profiling without it degrading into racial profiling or some other mostly ineffectual form of profiling.

Eddie Dutchover, I take my hat off to you and your expert application of such effective techniques. Bravo!

Also, in the same CNN story, you can read about how Utah is getting first crack at prosecuting Jeffs.

There are also a couple of interesting video clips linked within the article. They are linked via a JavaScript thingy, so I’ll refer you to the CNN article to view them (I could work out URLs to give you some direct links here, but I’m not going to take the time to do that, tonight).
