Your profiling madness test ... from my friend who lectures on intelligence. See how you score ...

Well, it seems my last post may have been based on a hoax -- but much was based on sense to me.

This is from my old friend, partner and boozing chum Glenmore Trenear-Harvey. I believe a lot of it applies to the U.K.

He said he'd received this from his old friend, a former senior American intelligence officer, adding "I agree with him totally".

*******

A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.

Absolutely No Profiling! Pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test.

These are actual events from history. They really happened! Do you remember?

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys and Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.
