Playing the waiting game

[cyrano]

So you know how, every trip, there's the one thing that I forget to bring?
It looks like this trip the thing I forgot was tonight's dinner. It's still sitting in the fridge. q:
And on another note, apparently my deodorant stick was not solid enough for security. So until I can get to the Safeway by SeaTac I'll just be stinky.

Unfortunately, as one of your friends obliquely mentioned, the only way to really be safe is to do some profiling, racial and otherwise. But if the Liberal Establishment got wind of that, we'd never hear the end of the lawsuits.

I'm dubious about the word 'only' here. And is there a Liberal Establishment?
I do notice that nobody suggested after the McVeigh bombings that we start pulling over white people randomly and checking their trunks for manure. I don't know what the liberals would think of that idea.

No one mentioned discretely checking large manure purchases, especially to those who've never bought the stuff before. Maybe they should have, or maybe they do and we don't know.

But a little profiling would be useful. The likelihood of the mother with the 2 year-old twins in the stroller boarding a plane to Minot being a terrorist is rather low. On the other hand the single male who has been back and forth between Paris and New York three times in four weeks who three months ago spent two weeks in Ethiopia, is someone I'd like the TSA to physically inspect their luggage before letting them on a plane.

Yes, there is a Liberal Establishment. The Liberal Media is its corner stone. Conversely there is a Conservative Gang, which is spearheaded by Fox News (We report irresponsibly. You don't need to decide. TM). Both make my ass twitch.
