Is it me, or what? Am I profiling?

This is JUST for the people who've actually been to an airport on a trip in
the last year. Others, please STFU.

Okay. This is just me.

I have noticed that A LOT of airport workers, particularly TSA employees,
are of a minority group. (there's that profiling I warned you about) All
look like they are either in a trance, or they want to rip the lining out of
your baggage in search of some elusive contraband. They're either over the
top or sleep walking. No in between. All watching their watch to see when
their next break is.

Flying back from Hawaii, I had a bottle of EXPENSIVE cologne confiscated,
yet they left a FULL SIZED PAIR OF HAIR SCISSORS in the same shave kit.

Are all these people steered to these jobs from ACORN? Are they SEIU
members?

I mean, it COULD be me, but I see a pattern here. The term Airport Security
makes me feel very unsecure. And actual PROFILING isn't used enough, IMHO.

Rant off

I got called off to the side where a big lady reached into my bag and
asked, "Is this yours?"

To which I replied, "Yes Ma'am."

She said, "What is it? You know you can't take this on the airplane?"

I said, "It's a jar of homemade blueberry jam I was going to give my
brother. You're welcome to open it and taste it."

But, she wouldn't give it back. Those were some careful people. They
definitely fit your profile. My ballpoint pen was in my pocket. Shoved
up the nose of a stewardess, there'd be a dead stewardess. But,
ballpoints are OK. I don't understand it either.
