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 former Governors, and leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 & 40 alone because 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 doubly 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."
