<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;10. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;take out the World Trade Centers 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Nope, ......I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;you? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;80-year-old 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning former Governors, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;and leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 &amp; 40 alone because of 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;profiling. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves - if they have any 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;such sense. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;"Stupid is as stupid does." 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
