What a dim wit.
If you, as a white, male businessman under the age of 40 feel you are entitled to a random search while travelling because it makes you feel safer, or your country stronger; then I suggest the terrorists have succeeded in making your life more miserable.

I talk to people all the time who are subjected to inane searches by inept people tying up airport commerce and making travellers feel like criminals.
Profiling!!??

Hell yes, let's carefully examine the middle easterners first and leave westerners alone to their lives and their commerce.

You are a pacifist in the worst sense.

PS. I'm not really dissing you.....just making my point.
