| Never Offend Anyone, Your life might depend on it!
To ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on
killing us, airport screeners will not be allowed to profile people. They
will continue random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline
pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of
the President's security detail and 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips.
Let's pause a moment and take the following test:
In 1979, the U.S. embassy in Iran was taken over by: |
- Norwegians from Ballard

|
In 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by: |
- A pizza delivery boy

- Luca Brazzi, for not being given a part in "Godfather 2;"

Hmmm............. nope, ain't no patterns here. We'd better make sure we
don't offend any one group by profiling them. Only in America... your life
might depend
on it.
