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 are no longer 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.

It seems to me that Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, should 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."

Guess what group our boys are fighting right now in the middle east who have their sights on American soil?

Great post Neb!

[papasangel]

Uh Snow White and her gang of 7 midgets? (j/K) Nebula you have a very good post here. And thanks for the history lesson. Now maybe some eyes will open and see that terrorists need to be stopped.

To those out there who are muslim. The American people do not hate you. It is those few bad apples and every race and religion has them that we have a problem with. I myself respect your rights to worship as you please even though we do not agree with your views of God. It is time to put down the swords and beat them back into plowshares and let Peace reign.

watch out or the profile police will get you.... and they won't care that you are absolutely correct....

I do not think that your questionairre at all justifies ethnic profiling.

Greatest bloodshed in the 20th century:

(notice the curious absence of Muslim extremists)

1) Second World War (Some overlap w/Stalin. Includes Sino-Japanese War and Holocaust. Doesn't incl. post-war German expulsions): 55,000,000

2) China: Mao Zedong's regime. (incl. famine): 40,000,000

3) USSR: Stalin's regime (incl. WW2-era atrocities): 20,000,000

4) First World War(incl. Armenian massacres): 15,000,000

5) Russian Civil War: 8,800,000

6) China: Warlord & Nationalist Era: 4,000,000

7) Congo Free State: 3,000,000

8) Korean War: 2,800,000

9) 2nd Indochina War (incl. Laos & Cambodia): 2,800,000

10) Chinese Civil War: 2,500,000

I do not understand your logic here, because people of a certain ethnic group have commited crimes against US citizens, profiling is jutified? Most Americans that are killed are killed by Americans. I just don't see the logic in this profiling business. At what point has a group harmed us enough that we should profile against them?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think when the majority of a group of people are the ones who commit such acts then you should look out for that profile first. That is just wisdom I think. Why would you turn a blind eye to that? You get hit by the same people so many times then if you don't start looking out for them you are only being stupid.
