of course we need to profile and are doing so. our thoroughly trained federal baggage screeners are well aware that weapons of mass destruction are smuggled by anglo saxon grandmas from pittsburgh and planes are hijacked by 3 years olds from cincinatti. the security people are thoroughly going through knitting and diaper bags as we speak. so don't worry, our government never makes the same mistake twice, we are all safe and sound. your tax dollars are protecting you without offending any of the oppressed middle eastern victims.
