who she was. They're learning.

But, I remember a hushed up story at Newark Airport years ago when a Port Authority cop saw a black man in a Cadillac, so he must be a dealer, right? A little old for a dealer, but close enough to the profile.

The black man meekly followed the cop down to his little jail and obediently pulled out his ID.

The ID he pulled out was the one that said he was a Federal circuit judge.

That was the end of Port Authority profiling.
