1. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by: 2. In 1979, the U.S. embassy in Iran was taken over by: 3. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by: 4. In 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by: 5. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by: 6. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a U.S. Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by: 7. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by: 8. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by: 9. In 1998, the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by: 10.

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will not be allowed to profile certain people. They must continue to conduct 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, and Medal of Honor winning former Governors.
