Nope, I really don't
see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
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 agents
who are members of the President's security detail,
85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal
of Honor winning former Governors, and leave Muslim
Males between the ages 17 & 40 alone because
of profiling.
Let's send this to as many
people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and
other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal
Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel
doubly ashamed of themselves if they have any such
sense.
As the writer of the award winning
story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is,
as stupid does."

yep....
I talked to a retired college professor
with Japanese parents. He spent years in an "internment
camp" in California as a child with his parents.
He didn't like it. But he said he understood
the necessity of it. To a very very small degree,
it was "for their own protection". There was a lot
of distrust, hate and resentment of japanese americans
then. I wasn't born then, but I figure most of the
reason was that the US did not have the manpower
or tecniques to determine which (if any) of them
might have been risks to the US.
Our FBI
etc are better today (I hope) at identifiying people
of risk so an internment camp is a dumb idea today.
"Correlation does not mean causation". But so far
100% of the people you stop and search that are
not middle-eastern is 100% waste of time.
Think about it..... If 100% of the terrorists
blowing up stuff in Peru were european descent male
caucasions, wouldn't we expect to be treated differently
than the indigenous population ?

Michelle Malkin has a great book out entitled "In
Defense of Internment" that bravely defends FDR's
decision to establish the internment camps.
https://michellemalkin.com/books.htmFrom
her website:
About In Defense
of Internment
If you want to read
a book decrying the loss of personal freedom in
wartime America, this is the wrong book. If you
want to read a book about the history of institutional
discrimination against minorities in America, you’re
out of luck again. Bookstores, library shelves,
and classrooms are already filled with pedantic
tomes, legal analyses, and educational propaganda
along these conventional lines.
In Defense
of Internment provides a radical departure from
the predominant literature of civil liberties absolutism.
It offers a defense of the most reviled wartime
policies in American history: the evacuation, relocation,
and internment of people of Japanese descent during
World War II (three separate actions which are commonly
lumped under the umbrella term “internment”). My
book is also a defense of racial, ethnic, religious,
and nationality profiling (widely differing measures
that are commonly lumped under the umbrella term
“racial profiling”) now being taken or contemplated
during today’s War on Terror.
I was compelled
to write this book after watching ethnic activists,
historians, and politicians repeatedly play the
World War II internment card after the September
11 attacks. The Bush Administration’s critics have
equated every reasonable measure to interrogate,
track, detain, and deport potential terrorists with
the “racist” and “unjustified” World War II internment
policies of President Roosevelt. To make amends
for this “shameful blot” on our history, both Japanese-American
and Arab/Muslim-American activists argue against
any and all uses of race, ethnicity, nationality,
and religion in shaping current homeland security
policies. Misguided guilt about the past continues
to hamper our ability to prevent future terrorist
attacks."
