Adventures with Bruce - Another Type of Profiling

by Ferdinand T Cat

Bruce works at a government lab, and one of the hazards is that as you go through the gate your car may be searched. The guards pick people more or less at random, and when Bruce is chosen he is always sure to thank the guards, because they are doing this for his protection.

A few days ago he was returning from lunch with his car windows open, and heard the following:

"Should we search this one?"
"Nah. He's listening to Rush Limbaugh."

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

I'm thinking that where Bruce is concerned, "less" at random applies. As in - they may pick the searchees at random, but they've got at least the common sense to realize that very few conservatives cause the kind of problems they're looking for.

In some circles that would be cause for alarm. ;)
