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 and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

No, they must search them too. I once got searched 4 times and I was traveling in uniform and I'm also on the do not fly list or something so they have to make a phone call every time I check in for a flight.

That truly SUX!!!

You must look like a Muslim extremist between 17 and 40 (Just kidding)!

I wish! Then I'd at least have an excuse. They've stopped us from traveling in uniform because it makes us a target, but it's a hassle I can deal with. I think most people misunderstand the airport security thing though. It's not really meant to catch anyone, just to make it too hard for them to even try. I say search every single man woman and child between the ages of -1 to 210.

Aint that about a #####? I get that too, and my name is about white cornbred american as they come. I know now to get to the airport even earlier than 1 hour prior, cause I always have to deal with the, "I will be right back," and then the attendant coming back with her boss, ID being thoroughly scrutinized, then the phone call, and finally the explanation.
