By order of the Empire, Pull Over!
Personally, I'd like to see you pulled over every day and have a cop try to trick you into consenting to a search of your vehicle.
Well a search of a vehicle would be quite time consuming, versus a quick search of a body for a suicide BOMB!!! I don't like this stuff either and wonder where it leads but when I have fellow Freepers sending me private emails of actual xrays of someone they know who has had nails from a nail bomb resting hither-dither inside their freaking pelvis, I guess I can suck it up and let someone wand me or whatever.

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 and former Governor Joe Foss,
but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40
alone lest they be guilty 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."
Come on people wake up!!!
Riding a Subway isn't a right, it's a priviledge, you want to ride, get searched. Just like an airport.
Where you have a large congregation of people in a small area, I would feel much safer to have these searches than not.
Sorry you feel violated, maybe you have something to hide?
Your fredoms have not been violated in anyway for the search. What right was taken away? Nothing. And if you are embarrassed about the contents in your bags, perhaps they need to be left at home.
"Personally, I'd like to see you pulled over every day and have a cop try to trick you into consenting to a search of your vehicle."
This one isn't hard...to date, all the terrorists have been Muslim, even though all the Muslim's are not terrorist. The cops are not trying to "trick" you into consenting...apparently, you must look like a terrorist, therefore, they want to search you car. The police and the government are not doing their job if they are just singling out every 10th person (white people, old people, nuns, etc.) and conducting random searches. Personally, if it's white middle-aged men engaging in terrorism, I would have no problem complying with a search as frequently as the authorities feel necessary to ensure everyone's safety. We KNOW now what the terrorists look like and if they change their look, we should change our search criteria. Arab looking men in their 20's and 30's carrying back packs into subway stations or looking suspicious in other way should expect to be searched.
