Nope, .........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 not be allowed to
profile certain people. They must continue to conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper
identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning former Governors. 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. As the
writer of the award winning story Forest Gump so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does!"

Ahhhh its like American history test all over again.... NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i always thought it was the Boys Scouts...

You forgot answer E for every one, "Saddam Hussein."

10. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take out the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US pentagon and the other was diverted to a crash by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by:

I could have swore that was Arnold Schwartzeneger and Sitting Bull. They were in on it together.

 

[XZeroII]

BTW: The replace feature is your friend. Find: "> > " and replace with "".

 

[wnied]

Just because the security administration doesnt publicly state that they profile, doesnt mean that they dont. People still look very closely at any male looking of middle eastern decent. Its like the State police saying that Black americans in known drug neighborhoods "arent" being profiled when they pull them over.

Just because it isnt said, doesnt mean it isnt done.

What about the US ship off of Yemen that got hit.

 

[Siddhartha]

I suggest that you add to your list who bombed the Oklahoma City building, shot innocent people in the Columbine high school, then there is always Ted Bundy or the woman in Florida who killed her tricks.

You have a point with the Oklahoma City building, but I didn't know Ted Bundy and the woman in Florida were terrorists.

Theodore (ted) Bundy was a serial killer who probably killed hundreds of women.

Did he do it to further the goals of his religion? Did he pray to Allah for success?

What was even the point of your statement?

The point was to do what he does so well on ATOT every hour of the day... insult people. Sometimes they deserve it. Sometimes (like in this case), they don't. Presumably he'll prove my predictions correct and reply to this post with some non-witty insult aimed at me - something I'll conveniently ignore.

My point Suck Up is that he's pigeon holing all Middle Eastern people as potential Terrorists and saying that we are stupid for going out of our way not to racially profile. In fact it's what America's about and we sacrifice some security trying to live up to the High Standards that we have set for ourselves to insure that we are to remain a great country.The Irony is that the stupidity on his part that brought him so much grief (and obviously the pity of every button pushing Weenky on this site) is due to the fact that he was profiled as a hacker and suffered the consequences for it even if he was just being stupid and ignorant.

So, um .. how does saying that equate to your original coment of, "Stupid to me is installing a program on University Computers for the sake of showing off to other geeks without the schools permission and getting busted and prosecuted for it. "

they are not even close.
