I had the radio on the other night and Savage nation was on. I don't normally listen to him but he was talking about the war on terror. He made the point that the recent FBI memo warned of signs of possible suicide bomber (Bulky coat, clenched fists, fake law enforcement or fire dept uniforms, dressing like a pregnant woman) He made the point that the biggest warning sign was missing from their memo. Middle Eastern Muslim Males. It is interesting that the nuts trying to kill us are the radical muslim extremists from the Middle East yet we go out of your way to avoid identifying them as suspects. He went on to say that profiling is needed to deal with terrorists, not doing so is aiding them and their attempts to kill Americans.

I think a repeat of my test from last year is in order.

"To ensure that we Americans 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, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor-winning former Governors.

Let's pause a moment and take the following test:

Hmmm . . . nope, no patterns anywhere to justify profiling..."

Never post in haste. Let's try this one.

"To ensure that we Americans 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, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor-winning former Governors.
