OK you still have plenty of rant “brand loyalty” in my book.
Black people without passports.
Heh if it wasnt for the 300 dollars a day atm limit in ca I’d never to to the bank the one time a month I do
But the goverment decided to get rid of mail theft and prop up the banks at the same time by making direct deposit madatory
So I go in one day a month
One time I went in to make a deposit the teller made the remark that that was the first time in 2 years id made a deposit
So I hope in a couple weeks every one remebers me at my bank …
It’s clearly a warning to watch out for brown people.
Pre 9/11 we were so proud of how progressive our anti-hate policies were. Remember the hoopla over racial profiling in NJ. The same people who raised a fuss over that are cheering the feds sticking their hands up the butt of every brown person who gets on a plane or steps into a bank.
I’m not quite sure where I stand on the issue, but the hypocrisy sure does piss me off.
They only use blood banks.
Much as I like the OP, I think you missed one other key stupid thing about the OP MEB: What makes the Feds think that a suicide bomber doesn’t usually go into a bank?
I presume that up to their very timely demise, a suicide bomber needs to bank just like the rest of us. Or do they keep their money in a big pile on the floor with all their semtex?
So really we should be on the lookout for the kind of people that very probably do normally go into banks. Which is even more helpful.
Ridiculous.

Are you sure it’s the same people?
This is such a great thread…
I’m POSITIVE!

…and the Pope.
…sesquicentenarians, the Invisible Hand, Vogon Poets, Orange People, toddlers on pogo sticks, the Tooth Fairy, blind aircraft pilots, Ewoks, OG…
I suppose this could also apply to terrorist attacks on banks?
To ensure we Americans never offend anyone – particularly fanatics
intent
on killing us – airport screeners are not allowed to profile people.
They will, however, continue to perform random searches of 80-year-old
women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret
Service agents who are members of the President’s security detail, and
85-year old Congressmen with metal hips.
Let’s pause a moment and take the following test…
In 1972, 11 Israeli athletes were killed at the Munich Olympics by:

Hmmm…nope, ain’t no patterns here. Darned if I know why we
should ever even think about profiling.
:::: No job is too hard for the man who does not have to do it!! :::
It does not follow that all, most, or a significant percentage of Arab males between 17 and 40 are Muslim extremists. Examples that don’t fit your profile are Oklahoma City, Unabomer attacks, the Atlanta Olympics, and Columbine. There are a lot of Arabs and Muslims at my school, but I don’t suspect any of them of being terrorists.
