My friend added the following conclusion:
"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 upon 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 identifications, Secret Service agents who are members of the president's security detail, 85-year-old congressmen with metal hips and Medal of Honor winner and former South Dakota Gov. Joe Foss. However, they must leave Muslim males between the ages of 17 and 40 alone – lest they be guilty of profiling."
