No, 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 winner 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 so that the Gloria Aldreds
and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that
want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they
have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story 'Forrest Gump' so aptly
put it, 'Stupid is as stupid does.'
