Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatic’s intent on killing us, airport security screeners are not 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, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.


Come on people wake up!!! Keep this going. Pass it on to everyone in your
address book. Our Country and our troops need our support.

8:01 don't be foolish. You profile the bombers to find the bomb. You may not like the reality but that doesn't mean it isn't real. Quit living in a fantasy land.

so, in 40 years, you can only come up with 13 examples that relate back to a "muslim extremists?" Sounds like chances are, you are more likely to be killed by a white american:

The Oklahoma Federal Building was bombed by...
White American male between the ages of 17-40

Poly Klaus was kidnapped and murdered by...
White American male between the ages of 17-40

Hiroshima was nuked by...
White American males between the ages of 17-40

Anthrax was sent my mail, terrorizing a country by...
White male between the ages of 17-40

The most notorious serial killers have nearly all been..
White males between the ages of 17-40

and besides that, lets look at other terrorists that are not muslim:
1) IRA
2) Mafia
3) Mexican Mafia

so, who should be profiled?

Actually islamic terrorists have carried out more than 14,661 DEADLY terror attacks since 9/11.
So who should be profiled?

8:01,

You have that totally backwards.

We are spending our time looking for bombs, Israel (El-Al Airlines) looks for the bombers. Do you think all the concentration on baggage inspection and metal inspectors is looking for bombers?

It's called preemptive profiling. Stop the bomber (or whatever method he's using, it doesn't have to be a bomb) and you've eliminated the threat.

I am getting smarter every day. I got a %100 on this test.

So the next logical step to "wake up" is to ask the same question about crime in Salisbury, and start profiling black males, 18-24 years old, wearing black hoodies..
