To ensure we Americans never offend anyone--particularly fanatics intent on
killing us (and liberals)--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 and 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips.
Let's pause a moment and take the following test.

In 1979, the U.S. embassy in Iran was taken over by:

 (a)    Norwegians from Ballard;

 (b)    Elvis;

 (c)    A tour bus full of 80-year-old women; or

 (d)    Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.

In 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by:

   (a)    A pizza delivery boy;

   (b)    Crazed feminists complaining that being able to throw a grenade
          beyond its own burst radius was an unfair and sexist
requirement in basic training

   (c)    Geraldo Rivera making up for a slow news day; or

   (d)    Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.


In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by:

   (a)    Luca Brazzi, for not being given a part in "Godfather 2;"

   (b)    The Tooth Fairy;

   (c)    Butch and Sundance who had a few sticks of dynamite left over
          from the train mission, or,

   (d)    Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.


In 1998, the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by:

   (a)    Mr. Rogers;

   (b)    Hillary, to distract attention from Wild Bill's women problems;

   (c)    The World Wrestling Federation to promote its next villain:
"Mustapha the Merciless;" or

   (d)    Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.


On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked and destroyed by:

   (a)    Bugs Bunny, Wiley E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd.

   (b)    The Supreme Court of Florida trying to outdo their attempted
hijacking of the 2000 Presidential election;

   (c)    Mr. Bean,

   (d)    Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.

Hmmmm... This looks almost like the MCSE test. Your missing option (e) all the above.

And everyone knows it is always "all the above".

Yup we would not want to offend anyone in a search. If it looks like a duck,flies like a duck,quacks like a duck,associated with other ducks,and was positively I.D.ed a duck by three eye witness'. We should check every cow,dog,pig,snake we come across. So we don't offend the ducks. [BD]
