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 former Governors, and leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 & 40 alone because of profiling.

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.

As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly
put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Apparently al-Quaeda are currently working on new recruits who could pass themselves off as Europeans, so good luck with your profiling.

There's those Oklahoma City guys to think about as well. :roll:

And how can you tell if someone is a Muslim male extremist? Would a terrorist actually admit that? Islam isn't even race, but a religion.

But, I believe the system should be updated and sped up so they just check everyone at airports. If the airport security can make me take apart my laptop every time I get on a plane, then everyone should be inconvienenced as well.

I don't know what airports you've been at but all the ones I've been to have checked me EVERY SINGLE time in these 'random' checks... And I'm Indian (and not muslim), but I've been informed by many that I 'look' like a 17-40 yr old muslim.

Well I have a pretty large camera and I didn't even have to turn it on when I flew to Japan, via a stop in Texas, and back the same way, back in March. I've done some flying since 9/11 and I'd estimate that security is more lax now than it was in the little while afterwards. It's really lazy and wouldn't take a rhodes scholar to think of ways to get contraband on to a plane.

It's all fun and games until your race/religion is profiled. From that point you are just a conspiracy theorist.

I have no problem with racial profiling because I think in most instances it will help alleviate alot of stress on everyone's part. I'm just trying to inform everyone that it DOES happen.

Exactly. People fail to realize that most terrorist attacks on civilians in the last fifty years have been committed by people that all kind of look the same. Arabs.

let's see, i am a 17 - 40 year old middle easterner (Persian Jewish, not Muslim) and I do look like a terrorist, not.

but having flown about six times in the past week, will tell you that this is ridiculous. they are checking the wrong people. some poor 80 year old lady was searched who could barely walk on her own. that is wrong.

i am happy they stopped asking that stupid luggage question at least.

Well, I've had problems in airports before 9/11. The company I worked for before 9/11 used to send me all over the US. If they pick anyone in the line to do the cavity search it will be me. Must have been the nappy/shaved head and goatee. Now I rather just drive. I'm not even Arab/Indian. And the Black Panthers haven't been an issue in years!

Just look around when you're at your gate... If you see someone 'suspicious' (17-40 yr old muslim lookin fellow) I guarantee that he WILL get checked. It's called a random check so they do have to check other people as well. I don't know why they picked the 80 year old woman but she's just a random person OUT of the profiled people.

I look like I'm Arab and I've only been searched once & that was at Logan (Boston).

Over the past 30+ years, who has been more responsible for murder, bombings, beheadings and general mayhem in the world? Squeaky Fromme and her friends, or Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40?

:roll: back at you.

I guess I'm just unlucky or I look more like what they're looking for or maybe it is indeed just random.
