    @ Rascal because thats what they do to scare the general public and to justify all that money being used for homeland security! They find the likliest victim they can manipulate and there you have it! A suicide bomber deterred and homeland security is still needed. End of story! Cuz ya know most joe public are gullible!

    If a man with a "cheewee" haircut commits mass murder you would expect police to profile people who wear dreadlocks as suspects, so why is it so wrong to profile muslims? Only muslims wage "jihad" after all.

    Hey@Hamsta
    What should happen when a shaved head white Christianist commits mass murder or one with blonde locks? Which section of the public should be profiled?
    There are hundreds of 'minor' terror attempts in this country with home made explosives like pipe bombs according to FBI by those who do not possess a M.Eastern physiognomy, who should FBI profile?

    A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window.

    For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!" The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much.

    "The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver. I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years."

    Fresh out of business school, the young man answered a want ad for an accountant. Now, he was being interviewed by a very nervous man who ran a small business that he had started himself.

    "I need someone with an accounting degree," the man said. "But mainly, I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for me."

    "Excuse me?" the accountant said.

    "I worry about a lot of things," the man said. "But I don't want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back."

    "I see," the accountant said. "And how much does the job pay?"

    "I'll start you at eighty thousand."

    "Eighty thousand dollars!" the accountant exclaimed. "How can such a small business afford a sum like that?"

    "That," the owner said, "is your first worry."
