Burkeans Are Suspicous


While unpacking our suitcases I found that each of them had been “randomly” searched by the TSA.  There were little notices in each suitcase explaining that our bag had been selected for a random search.   They must have been so suspicous when they found a copy of Reflections on the Revolution in France in one of my suitcases they decided to search the other two.  

On the way to Northern California the Burkean Daddy was flagged for a random search.  While the Young Prince and I were waiting for daddy, he naturally wanted to know why daddy was being searched.  I told him they just randomly select certain passengers to hand search, I didn’t want to give any politically in-correct explanations in front of the security people.  But a woman who was putting her shoes on said to the Prince “because we can’t do profiling.”  I smiled at her and said “yep exactly.”  That is just one of the many things we bitter Americans say to each other that no one in the media or government would dare to suggest out loud. 

Oh and that bitter profiling comment was made at LAX, in that most blue of blue cities.
