Politically Correct Profiling

[DRR-24V]

Subject: Never offend anyone



To ensure we never offend anyone - particularly fanatics intent on killing us - airport screeners will not be allowed to profile 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 and 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips.



Pause a moment and take the following test.

In 1979, the U. S. embassy in Iran was taken over by:



(a) Norwegians from Ballard;

(b) Elvis;

(c) A tour bus full of 80-year-old women; or

(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.



In 1983, the U. S. Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by:



(a) A pizza delivery boy;

(b) Crazed feminists screeching that being able to throw a grenade beyond

its own burst radius was an unfair and sexist requirement in basic training;

(c) Geraldo Rivera making up for a slow news day; or

(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.



In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by:



(a) Luca Brazzi, for not being given a part in "Godfather 2;"

(b) The Tooth Fairy;

(c) Butch and Sundance who had a few sticks of dynamite left over.

(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.



In 1998, the U. S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by:



(a) Mr. Rogers;

(b) Hillary, to distract attention from Wee Willie's women problems;

(c) the WWF, to promote its next villain: "Mustapha the Merciless;" or

(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.



On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked and destroyed by:



(a) Bugs Bunny,

(b) the Supreme Court of Florida trying to outdo their attempted hijacking

of the 2000 Presidential election;

(c) Mr. Bean; or

(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.

Hey DRR-24V





And let's not forget that each inspector will be sent to weeks of anti-profiling and sensitivity training.



And just how much do you think will be spent to train the inspectors to 'not profile or discriminate' during their daily duties?









Steve - good goof - I'll never underestimate Hillary's abilities again

Airport security?

Airports will soon be fully secure from unauthorized speech or behaviors. They better be, or offending travelers will find themselves face down with a half-dozen steel boots crushing their noses into dirty commercial carpeting.



Governors have decreed that we will be safe, or else. To that end, we have a new, highly visible, paramilitary enforcement class, to shepherd travelers between Hillarys so called "global villages". Anyone not in a coma for a decade knows what this means -- Nothing good, this way comes. These tactics don't have to be profitable - they're Federal

The New Enforcers are standardized, unionized, and homogenized -- A leaden rainbow of federalization. A cushy slot in airport 'security' is similar to the bonanza at the Post Office [for those who are so inclined] but with the added perk of being able to detain, humiliate, or even violate anyone who annoys you.



Government employees are cut from pretty much the same cloth. I call em the Grays - the soft core unemployable. Unable or unwilling to scrap out a comparable living in the private sector, they gravitate to the government nest that begets an intemperate bounty of paid and unpaid benefits. You work less, earn more, and have police power over the people who have been snubbing you for a lifetime. There's full dental, medical and retirement benefits, not to mention vacation, parental and bereavement leave, and necessary counseling should trans-gender surgery require extended therapy. Now when that 300 lb former Compton welfare queen tells you to empty your pockets, as she waves a metal detector in your beleaguered face --- well, you best not be givin' her any lip, or it'll be a full rectal search for you.



I will compare passport stamps with the best of them. "I have traveled all of the world" is an understatement. I got a treensy reality check when I flew home from Chicago just weeks after the 9-11 attacks. I arrived at the airport several hours early for my flight on the airline. A single line for departures was long ,brown and covered head to toe in less than fashionable shades of gauze. I though to myself-they cant be possibly going to Texas can they?

I confess, I'm never a very nice person before coffee, or when suffering the wrath of grapes. So I won't defend what happened next because in retrospect, it was thoroughly avoidable. I brought it on myself. And I made it worse than it had to be. Anyone with a triple digit I. Q. knows better than to taunt or challenge the demons of the state when they are in full Enforcement Mode, adorned with stripes and badges ----and before coffee.



I was searched from head to toe. My bags were opened and everything removed. Yeserday I was motoring along the freeways of Chicago in a nice rental with a nice concerto playing and today I was being majically transported to a third world country with third world security. Sorrounded by day laborers vying for too few jobs shoveling fish. I couldnt resist the gag reflex from odors wafting from robes and rotting teeth. By the time a had reached the counter my senses were overloaded and I was slightly ******. If I couldnt handle the diversity of the airport how was a gonna deal with it in the airplane for hours? Then I muffed it, what the hell nobody spoke english anyway. I asked "where the hell am I and what has happened to this airport" "Im not getting on the airplane and sharing space with cultures who have shown me they are out to kill Americans of any color"

I said "Im not racist and not acting that way". I felt reasonable after the 9-11 attacks and flying the same flight with lots of muslims just seemed stupid at the time.

These people did nothing to you insisted the counter girl and security personel. How generous of her to point that out perhaps after they take out the Sears towers well share another moment together, For now, I need to find a way to get back to Dallas that does not include the smell the fermenting laundry.



I guess I brought the drive back to Dallas on myself. I rented the same type of car and walked away from my flight.

I was the one getting searched. Not the others. I was singled out and the process was unfair.



The drive was nice anyway.
