“Racial Profiling”

Enclosures: None.

I'm listening to an NPR story about the Secret Service agent -- of Arab descent -- who was removed from an American Airlines flight when the pilot didn't believe that he was an agent.

Remember back when "racial profiling" used to refer primarily to police giving more tickets to "black" drivers than to "white" drivers?

Sheesh.

At least the agent can take comfort in his boss's words. If the problem turns out to actually be one of racial profiling, he's promised to be "mad as heck".

Stories of daisy-cutters being dropped on American Airlines headquarters are, so far, uncomfirmed.
