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. As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."
I am not sure they are even worth a response, but if at least I could get something to help open my own mothers eyes, I would be grateful.. Thank You
