What proof? Just because none from those subgroups have attacked yet, doesn't mean they're incapable of it. And more to the point, if you make an exception for female Norwegian ski teams, then it behooves the terrorists to convert one, or get one of their own into whatever group has a free pass through security.

The only way to "win" is to increase screening for everyone. This carries a cost though, in that everyone is additionally hassled. The real truth here is the axiom that "Security is equal to one over convenience."
