Just so everyone understands ,my use of the word "transient" was broad based. Meaning that people from all over the world move here and given the law of large numbers some will have criminal backgrounds, etc. The hoodie thing applies to everyone. It may be fashionable for some folks but to others it is a way to shield one's idenity. Sorry that is the law of nature... Example, What comes to your mind when a person you ae speaking with covers their mouth or can't look you in the eye. see what I mean. What we wear and our baody language represents beter than 50% of communication. Its not so much profiling but what we have learned from movies, television, everyday living. Hollywood has done major damage by creating sterotypes.
