Think about it.

Has been floating around the internet for quite sometime. And I think posted here once before. But, when police do profiling on criminals and they are told that race or religion should not be allowed in that profile some one is just plain stupid.

Who want's to be between 17 and 40????????????

[reconeil]

Still, I've got a problem given with all the obvious and correct answers given as to whom most certainly need profiling in America. The Problem is mainly with the ages given for murderously-sicko Muslim Fanatics.

I would start start profiling "Them" at about 10-11-12 years of age. That's about when all their previous years of brainwashing has started to bear fruit. And, I would end the profiling of such sickos at about 85 years of age or whatever the life expectancy is for murderously-sicko Muslim Fanatics. Besides, most Mullahs or murder-dictators aren't youngsters.

Thusly, and in that context, profiling from 10-11-12 years of age to about 85 years of age seems more realistic,...and therefore: "Works-fir-me". Plus, it's logical.

Back in 71-72 when I was flying as a Sky Marshall we were profiling. Middle eastern men AND WOMEN between the ages of 17 and 50 (Remember Leilah Khaled? the woman who hijacked a TWA flight to the Lybian Desert where it was blown up?) and also males between the age of 17-50 (all the idiots who wanted to go to Cuba) It makes sense to me to profile Muslims since they are the ones who were responsible for 9/11. It certainly wasn't someone like Joe Foss who was hassled by the airport security.
I'm beginning to think that to be a true "Liberal" you have to divest yourself of all appearances of common sense and give up being free in exchange for a false sense of security.

[reconeil]

Still, and on that "Liberals" being divest of common sense bit,... now same is becoming downright scary.

After all, pre 9/11 such a normally expected political nonsense pretty-much only effected "We The (Schnooks)" and/or The American Taxpayers' pocketbooks. Whereas nowadays, the typical liberal nonsense espoused is absolutely quite nationally suicidal,...at best.

Besides, do "Liberals" honestly believe that Our Constitution actually covers every foreigner on earth (fanatical and murderous foreign enemies inclusive), and even treasonably acting American Citizens? I don't think "IT" was penned to do so. Do you?

In July of 2002 at the Los Angeles International Airport a lone gunman shot and killed 2 people before being mortally wounded by security guards. Was he:

A. An American Citizen with Swedish Heritage from Minnesota?
B. An Afro-American from Alanta, Georgia?
C. An Asian-American from Hawaii?
D. A Muslim, Arab From Egypt between 18 and 40 years of age?

Target! Fire for effect!! The accursed political correctness police have been vested with way too much power, where their vetoes over sane, sensible, and useful profiling have ruled the day, much to the detriment and danger to America. The whining and snivelings of people such as Julian Bond and Jesse Jackson should not only be ignored, they should be totally discounted as coming from inept leaders of discredited organizations.

One suggestion about how to improve aviation safety: after passengers arrive at the airport, they must disrobe, and everybody travels naked! For most people, it would be hard to hide a weapon, and the really fat people could be charged double, with good reason.

[reconeil]

Absolutely GREAT SUGGESTION!!! After all, I'm certainly not that old that I can't appreciate the better things in life. Though, getting my wife's OK for my soloing on such a lovely flight, would truly be an amazing feat. Don't you think?

Naturally, the type flight that I would prefer soloing on would be during what's referred to as: "Spring Break", to Fort Lauterdale, Daytona, or some other such place frequented by The Collegiate Set.
