Police Group OKs Shooting Suicide Bombers in Head

Does this international organization actually have any authority? I can't see how a policy they put out would be legal in the US. So if this group decided all people of arabic descent should be shot, then the US police can legally do so? And this policy is crazy. You'll have trigger happy cops shooting anyone that doesn't fit the common social mold. So London police just saw some random dude with a big coat who ran away from them and chased him down and shot him? He was stupid for running away, but shooting him seems kind of extreme.
Luckily I don't live in a city that has subways. We have public transportation, but the extra few dollars I spend in gas is worth the freedom of not risking my skull getting blown open by a trigger happy officer who thinks the headphone wires running down my hoody are a detonator.
How many college-aged kids fit the profile of wearing baggy/heavy clothing, carrying a backpack, and having wires, cell phones, iPods, and other gadgets on their person?
So, a student wearing a long coat with a bagpack listening to music may get attention from the cops. Cops say something, then the student would either put his hand in the pocket to turn off mp3 player or he'd take out to turn the volume down which may look like he's detonating the bomb. Uh oh, that'd be a head shot.
So I guess if you're a suicide bomber, your best bet is to:
1) Bomb during colder weather so the jacket is not out of place
2) Tuck in/tape down your wires
3) Take a mild sedative to calm you down
4) Wear anti-perspirant
Or an even better idea: don't bomb mass transit, find an easier target.
This is why I think all these bag searches and ridiculous fear-mongering policies won't work. It's not like terrorists purposefully try to go outside and fit the profile of a terrorist, especially when we advertise all the details of what we are looking for and where we are looking for them.
