It annoys me to wait in long lines while some little kid's or some businessman's or some grandma's bag are searched, only to get rid of a nail file or scissors. Never, to my knowledge, has a grandma, or little kid, or anyone other than someone that was Islamic hijacked an American plane. I think any racial profiling and stereotyping in this manner is just appropriate law enforcement. If a bunch of men of southwest Asian descent are driving around a nuclear facility, I think that should raise red flags that would not be raised if it was a carload of black guys, or white guys. (well, maybe not the same for white guys with militia bumper stickers or driving Ryder vans)
Anyway, sorry if it's offensive, but you asked, and those are my thoughts. [/B]

I'm ready for it. The final straw for me occurred when flying out of SFO late in 2002. Ahead of me at the security point was an elderly couple; the wife was in a wheelchair. The guards pulled them aside and performed a thorough pat down of the woman. I'll never forget the look of humiliation on her face. The PC crap has gone to far. We have profiles of the terrorists. Spending scarce resources on searching crippled grannies is not going to make us safer.
