The Craziness of America

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, 85-year old Congressmen with
metal hips, and Medal Of Honor winning former Governors.
