To ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on
killing us, airport screeners will not be allowed to profile people. They
will continue random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline
pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of
the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips,
Medal of Honor winning former Governors and Compaq employees wearing black
leather jackets.

Geez, I thought the Boy Scouts were behind those 1980's kidnappings in Lebanon.

There was a fairly comical incident reported here in January when a 6 year old boy had his plastic scissors (you know, the really little ones that don't have any metal and can only cut playdough) confiscated.

I heard a great line from a US comedian (can't remember his name, he's the one that does the raves on the Conan O'Brien show) about an old lady who copped a full search because they found she had knitting needles - 'if the terrorists are using crippled 80 year old women, then they deserve to win'
 
In 1969, Delta Airlines officials confiscated, a cap-gun in the shape of .32 ACP Colt from an 5-year old black child flying from Charlotte, North Carolina to San Francisco International Airport.
The Pistol was bagged and sent thru as luggage.
The Child's Father was under consideration for the job of Associate Pastor of the Church of Christ in the Filmore District.
No Charges were ever filed.
I was that child.
Five years later I was allowed to board a plane carrying a portable record player that had room in the casing for the parts of two UZI sub-machine guns.
I now travel by car.
