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 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 because of profiling.

Profiling or common sense?
If I could, I would like to award you 100 points just for asking that question. I just do not understand the reluctance of those in politics to start profiling people. Muslims in particular. Yes, its politically incorrect and many Muslims would have their feelings hurt. I understand that. But if that means that one innocent life is saved then I don't give a damn if 10 million Muslims feelings are hurt. American and UK Muslims have been spectacularly unsuccessful in dissuading the extremists in their midst from refom refraining from their evil and utterly futile attempts to kill innocent civilians. I wish they would ask themselves just where all their bombing activities has got them? Precisely nowhere. What a bunch of twits. Yes go ahead and profile. I dont care if it hurts and inconveniences...lets save lives!
Reply:hey i am doin a report on this if anyone is still checining this out and lookin here can u give me any resources for me to study this stuff and look for it? Report It

Reply:Yes, apparantly, 'cause otherwise we'd look like bigots. Don't give into stereotypes, people! Unless, of course, the stereotypes are true, in which case, we can't do anything. God forbid we check their luggage! What the hell is the world coming to, really?
