Airport profiling and Jessica Alba

News now they're doing the profiling thing in the UK. This is where you find people who look like the people you think are the people who you think are thinking about thinking they might want to do whatever it is you're thinking that they're thinking, and then you line them up against a wall and shoot 'em...ok, see, really what you do is you pull them aside and wand them and search them, and if (Allah be praised) they look like Jessica Alba; she's half Lebanese or Spanish or Mexican, some dark skin thing going on there, so she counts, see...if they look like Jessica Alba, well then: you get to do a thorough, deep, probing, strip search.

The photo above illustrates the sorry state of things as they are now, in the USA. Without profiling, you've got a three-week old, hands in the air, surrendering, or maybe he just needs to go pooh pooh. But with profiling, you get to frisk Jessica Alba, pictured at right.

I vote for profiling.
