To ensure we Americans never offend anyone — particularly fanatics

They will continue 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, 85-year old congressmen with
metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning former Governors.
