Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling airline passengers, 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 alone because of profiling.
As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it,"Stupid is as stupid does."
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.
Keep this going. Pass it on to everyone in your address book and to your congressmen. Your congressmen have the ability to write the laws to change this stupidity. If they see enough people care, they might do something about it.
Our Country and our troops need our support!
