Took my petite, five ft. tall, tiny, white haired, 75 year old mother and my 48 year old sister to Houston Hobby Airport Monday, they had come for our youngest son's HS grad. They sent through my mother's bags, took her shoes and checked them, ran the wand over her. It was utterly ridiculous! She doesn't fit the profile of ANY kind of criminal, terrorist or other kind! She fits the profile of a victim of a crime more than a criminal. She is as squeaky clean as a person can possibly be. While they frisked her, many dark skinned men with black hair and duffle bags passed right through security, don't want to offend anyone! sheesh! I thought of Fred's article as I watched this ridiculous event at the airport. I see them frisking our elderly over and over. One time it was an elderly gentleman from Mexico and he didn't even know what they were saying. He had fear in his eyes. I think our fear of "racial profiling" has gone way too far. Besides there is only ONE RACE! HUMAN!!!!
