I have any number of acquaintances in the same boat as you, as a rule I don't proposed singling them out based on that alone, but when it comes to those travelling, to ignore them as things sit today as a result of even more events of late, I am glad you understand, it is nothing personal, it is only prudent.
I appreciate your attitude. If fat Irish Catholics with white beards were blowing up airplanes, I wouldn't object to being strip-searched myself since I fit that profile. And I wouldn't demand that old Black women get the same treatment just to make it "fair".
PC will be the end of us.
How long is this going to be tolerated?
As long as there are morons in charge of security.
We're hispanic-looking with very dark skin and get "profilied" all the time...get sent through special bomb machines, extra screening, whole nine yards. Doesn't bother us a bit...because, like everybody else, gets nervous when they see a shifty-looking arab guy get on a plane. I do, however, get annoyed when I see a 76 year old woman getting put through the bomb machine.
