When are we going to demand an end to left-wing political correctness before it destroys our country? I have flown quite a bit since Sept. 11. I have seen teary-eyed, 15-year-old girls having security wands circle over and over their breasts because of the metal in their bras. You see grandfathers, men who likely fought for this country, hassled. You see women cringe as security men put the wand between their legs. It’s OK to do that, just as long as we don’t profile.
We don’t want to offend an Islamic ex-con with two aliases and no job, paying cash for an airline ticket, with no luggage, whose shoes are packed with explosives. What’s going on? Terrorists fit into a narrow range of age, nationality and religion. The time we can afford to be politically correct is past. Let’s elect sensible people to policy-making positions.
