Begin Profiling at Airports… Immediately!

As you would probably guess, I’m for profiling at airports. The way we are approaching screening passengers is totally nonsensical and a waste of time, and money, as well as resources. I mean, folks, it isn’t as though we don’t KNOW whose blowing up our planes and killing our people! If ever there was a clear case made for profiling… the war on terror has made it!
The little multiple-choice test below has been culled from several sites, around the ‘net, and from various e-mails, making their way around the globe. We think it points up, quite clearly, the need for profiling. Once you have finished this test, there should be no question in your mind, whatsoever, that the US should begin profiling at its airports immediately.
