They must conduct 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.

I got this in an email a while back. There's a big difference between profiling when there is little evidence to go on and good common sense...

Our "Probable Cause" statutes in the US leave wide gaps in our National security.

We NEED to do profiling to check every single person who may be a threat, only one slip up and you've allowed many lives to be put at risk.

I agree, when has the 80 yr old grandma with her knitting needles hijacked an airliner.
