LOL!

Or it would be funny, if it weren't also true.

DOT guidelines to screeners:

"Do not subject persons or their property to inspection, search and/or detention solely because they appear to be Arab, Middle Eastern, Asian, and/or Muslim; or solely because they speak Arabic, Farsi, or another foreign language; or solely because they speak with an accent that may lead you to believe they are Arab, Middle Eastern, Asian, and/or Muslim."

"Since the terrorist hijackings and events of September 11, we have seen several reports of airlines apparently removing passengers from flights because the passengers appeared to be Middle Eastern and/or Muslim. We caution airlines not to target or otherwise discriminate against passengers based on their race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, or based on passengers' names or modes of dress that could be indicative of such classification. Various Federal statutes prohibit air carriers from subjecting a person in air transportation to discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or ancestry"

Three years of this garbage has led me to conclude that America is in a death struggle with international forces who are challenging the United States for world leadership in the 21st century.

There is no other way to explain 9/11 and the anointing of the calculating, effete, French fascist, descendant of opium smugglers, John FORBES Kohn Kerry.

He is the Manchurian Candidate and we are the audience for his song and dance, directed by some amorphous nation-states who seek to destroy America's might.

They count on our complacency and on our collective good nature.

God help us.

Those look like instructions for guaranteeing more terror!

If I did my own "profiling" on an airliner and got off if there were several middle eastern types on board with sizzling dynamite sticks, I'd probably get sent to sensitivity training.
