Why is it that when the FBI profiles serial murderers and rapists nobody
seems to care, but when we do the same in the airports for security .... everyone is up in arms? |

All you need is one of them to get through while Congressman Rahm Emanuel, a Chicago Sephardic Jew who would 'look the part', is held by the TSA for further screening ... gld |
