racial profiling? no way!

TAKEN FROM ANOTHER BOARD. NOT MY POINT OF VIEW. MEANT TO BE A JOKE ALSO. DO NOT TELL ME I'M A RACIST BASTARD OR ANYTHING OF THAT SORT. I AM ACTUALLY A RELIGIOUS PERSON AND FOR THE MOST PART, DO NOT THINK LIKE THIS. IT IS JUST A JOKE. THANKS. READ ON.

just got this in an email... thought it was funny and something to think about.

To ensure we Americans never offend
anyone -- particularly fanatics intent on
killing us, U.S. Airport Screeners will
not be allowed to "profile" certain
people.

They will continue 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.

But, let's pause a moment and take the
following test...

Hmmm... Nope, no patterns anywhere
to justify profiling.

i'm not sure what to make of this..

its like saying all italians are in the mob. I must agree that alot of bad things have been done by a small group of people, and it reflects badly on the larger group that they belong to. Its sad that the only way we think we can protect ourself is by profiling.

it does ring some truth.. i laughed but laugh no longer.

Yup. Must agree with you. Just found this and wanted people POV's
