Interesting. I really don't see a pattern here worth profiling, do you?



To ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics who are bent 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 and kids, and you and I, airline pilots with proper ID, secret agents who are members of the Presidents security detail, 85 year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but...



...we must leave Muslim Males between the ages of 17 and 40 alone because of profiling.



Stupid is as stupid does.
