Come to think of it...I get profiled all the time too..

I have been profiled as being a rich, white, former slave owner..

But...my family never owned any slaves...honestly....I checked.

Can I sue someone?

Hell, I've been profiling ever since the 1983 Marine Bombing. Sort of a personal thing:(

I went to school with Saudis in the 90's.. it was the same then. They drank more than most and tried to pick up on every woman they saw. They too used the "when in Rome..." line. We tried to explain that the Romans weren't quite that bad.

I once stood next to someone at a bus stop that could have been Iranian.

So I guess, I feel justified in saying that, like Udie, I believe I should be able to strip seach them in my house.

Thrawn, as I'm opposed to racial profiling yet concerned over terrorism I've decided to strip search all people entering my property including UPS drivers and meter readers. I hope my Mom understands next time she visits.

>>let me see if i got this straight. the same guys that masterminded the incredibly well planned, complex attacks of 9/11, during this heightened state of alert, are just going to try to walk up in a public place and pay cash for an ambulance? well, thank goodness for those brave used car salesmen<<

FBI finds ambulance offer wasn't terror plot

Friday, June 21, 2002

BY ANA M. ALAYA AND JOHN P. MARTIN
Star-Ledger Staff

A report that two Middle Eastern men attempted to buy a replica ambulance from a Lyndhurst company earlier this month sparked a wave of concern yesterday about possible terror attacks during the July 4 holiday.

But by the end of the day, the FBI had located one of the men and determined that the incident had nothing to do with terrorism. Instead, FBI spokeswoman Sandra Carroll said, agents determined the prospective buyers were maintenance men with a legitimate business purpose in mind: They wanted a vehicle with lots of compartments to store their tools.

Kg45 you mean those Middle Eastern gentlemen weren't terrorists??? Hey, I thought ALL Middle Easterners were terrorists!! On the bright side, tho, I'm glad the FBI solved this misunderstanding before GW's crew managed to suspend more of our civil rights.
