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 because of profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Allreds 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."

Come on people wake up!!!

[Deja Q]

1. Jerry Falwell would answer them all with "Richard Simmons"

or "the GLBT special interest groups"

[InternalDialogue]

2. Tell your sister to pick any group by ethnicity, appearance, or interest..

...and I'll come up with a list of 13 criminal acts people who fit that profile have committed in the past 35 years.

Let's start with white men...

[SteppingRazor]

3. A couple more --

A couple of abortion clinics were blown up, killing a police officer in the process by:
a. Shaggy
b. Scooby Doo
c. A Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40
d. a right-wing lunatic between the ages of 17 and 40

The federal building in Oklahoma was blown upm killing hundreds, by:
a. Tweedledum
b. Tweedledee
c. A Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40
d. a right-wing lunatic between the ages of 17 and 40

Gay man Matthew Shepherd was beaten to death and crucified by:
a. Yogi Bear.
b. BooBoo
c. A Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40
d. a right-wing lunatic between the ages of 17 and 40


The answer, obviously, is that all right-wing men between the ages of 17 and 40 should be rounded up and questioned... think they'll agree to this too?

5. actually ...

as a ny flight attendant for one of the airlines involved in 9/11 my supervisor talked to me about profiling..her husband is fbi..well it seems bin laden has a whole group of norweigans trained for terrorism...all blond and blue eyed...so tell me..do we stop every blond and blue eyed person as well??..well we need to if we are looking for bin ladens terrorists!!

and how would anyone like timothy mcveigh get stopped??

How do you profile a McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, Terry Nichols, Ted Kwcyzinki ( The Unabomber) They have shown that there is no specific physical characteristics of a terrorist - How do you deal with these bombers in our midst while we are singling out "dark Mid-eastern" types-????- BTW---what race are we talking about???? Middle Eastern types---- (they would be Asian-- no????) Racial profiling is dumb, stupid and dangerous.---and absolutely no guarantee of safety.

7. About the only constant throughout all terrorism is

Almost all men (what is the percentage I wonder?)

hmmmm

Makes me wonder why my 18 month old daughter was pulled aside at the airport a couple years ago as part of a "randomly chosen" search. The old bomb in the diaper trick, I suppose. dunno

[manic expression]

8. I'm sorry, but that is racist

What about the IRA, KKK, LRA, Tamil Tigers, Skinheads, CIA, IDF and all the other NON-MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS? They don't exist?

And since every lynching has been done by white Southerners, I guess ALL WHITE SOUTHERNERS ARE RACIST, BIGOTED PIECES OF SH*T! Since a christian conservative murdered people in BK (or whatever that was), now all christians are MURDERERS! Some black guy looked at me wierd the other day...I guess all blacks are uncultured swine! I love this NAZI LOGIC! WHEN CAN I OPEN UP MY OWN CONCENTRATION CAMP? :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:
:puke: :puke: :puke:

Oh, and what about the 2 MILLION VIETNAMESE WE MURDERED IN VIETNAM/CAMBODIA? THE 100,000 civilians + 80,000 Iraqi military personnel that WE KILLED IN IRAQ? El Salvador? Nicaragua? Chile? Iran (the airliner we shot down)? Israel? Hiroshima/Nagasaki.....? The list goes on.

:puke: :puke: :puke:
