Indeed. The Secretary of Transportation, in one of his better speeches, declared that he hoped that a white-haired gramma from Florida would be treated the same way as an Arab male between the ages of 15-40 at airport check-ins and put under the same scrutiny. So, of course, the question immediately springs up: how many white-haired grammas from Florida are terrorists or have commited a terrorist act - or are likely to? I'll just bet the odds of that happening are in the same category or higher than getting struck by lightening or winning the powerball lottery.
