The argument that since you can’t eliminate all possibilitities so don’t even attempt any profiling is nonsense.





Have you ever tried to slip a bottle of chemicals onto an elderly lady’s carry-on?





You are an actuary - on which sets of rules would you place your money: the current situation where little old ladies are searched with the same frequency as middle-eastern men or the one where the terrorists have to have a series of extremely low odds to take place before their plan can be successful?



All great points, funding father.

Has anyone followed the “Terror in the Skies” series from Annie Jacobson of Women’s Wall Street Journal? Political correctness has led to frightening flying conditions. We’re heading overseas on Thursday. Not looking forward to the hassles. Wonder if my d will be required to give another impromptu concert at the x-ray screening?
