Why Airline Security Doesn’t Work


By Daniel Greenfield Full Story

Three men go on a camping trip. On the way there they’re told by a park ranger to be careful because their campsite is located near some
dangerous animals. What dangerous animals? The park ranger won’t say,
because that would be profiling. “Just keep in mind”, he tells them,
“that people who camped there in the past never made it back alive.”

As the sun goes down, they pick up their hunting rifles and stand watch for dangerous animals. But they don’t know what dangerous animals, they’re watching out for. And they don’t want to profile. So they keep
watch for crickets as much as for bears, and for deer as much as for
mountain lions. A rabbit, an owl or a bullfrog all equally frighten them
out of their wits. They open fire on mosquitoes and stand watch against
monstrous raccoons. By the end of the night, they can hardly see
anything or react to danger. That morning, a pair of mountain lions
stroll lazily into their camp and find them snoring away.
