AIRPORT PROFILING CONSIDERATIONS

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. To ensure this is fair and equitable, let's pause a moment
