So, to ensure we Americans never<br /> offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be<br /> allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids,<br /> airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security<br /> detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss,<br /> but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
