The article considers profiling the identity of the offender as a method of countering terrorist threats. Profiling a terrorist is of particular value for achieving a prognostic function — identifying a person prone to committing a terrorist crime. At the same time, it is based on the collection of personal data of almost every citizen of the country, which carries significant discriminatory risks and contributes to serious restrictions on human rights. Such activities require the establishment of special public control.
