Nope.I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So,
to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent
on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to
profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret
agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old
Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former
Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling. Let's send this to as many people as we can, esp your congressman, senators etc, they are the ones holding up the profiling issue.

ATV...thanks for saving 10 minutes of my time, as I was about to reply with the same slant.

I understand what you are saying Bernie, but this argument holds no water...IMO. We all know that those bastards (Islamic extremists) are generally following the same ideologies and using the same dispicable tactics that they have for decades and beyond.

The profiling thing is a joke, as our law enforcement will ALWAYS profile young Muslim men whether it is 'official' policy or not. However, we dare not take our eye off the possibility that an elderly woman, or a baby carriage, or any other American for that matter may be compromised by a terrorist..ie...something hidden on their person or in their luggage that they may not be aware of.

And here I thought the U.S. Embassy was taken over by a busload of lost 80 year old Norwegian Elvis-impersonating women. But hey, I'm a product of public schools, so what would I know?

Plus your Scottish... we were never known for our book smarts. Hell, we wear kilts with no underwear in the winter.

Yes, but I wasn't cold. Just kind of itchy.
