Nope, no patterns anywhere to justify profiling! So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct 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, former Speaker of the House, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal-of-Honor winning former Governors.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the empty-suited, nitwit, brain-dead attorneys and judges that want to thwart common sense feel doubly ashamed of themselves.
