Keystone Cops

So I'm traveling back from Chicago last night. As I'm standing in line to pass through the security checkpoint at O'Hare, I notice a middle-aged Arab man in front of me with his wife (head scarf included), and a white couple behind me who appeared to be in their late 60's or early 70's.

As I'm standing there, I think to myself, "If I were the TSA, who would I pull aside to search." Naturally, the old, white geezers. And that's what they did.

What about the younger, white male? No, young men never commit crimes. What about the Arab couple? Nah, what kind of threat would they present. Old, white geezers? They have "terrorist" written all over their faces.

Amazing.
