I looked it up. It’s apparently some Japanese thing. Chrome on Android has a feature to ask google about a posted pic. Info comes back fast. Too bad my parents wouldn’t let me use the inet....

Likely depends on the hotness of the passenger and the orientation of the patter.

Just use the methods of El Al Israel Airlines. They do profile and their airlines no longer are hijacked nor blow up in the air. They learned their lesson at Entibe many years ago. The present Prime Minister of Israel Benjimen Natanyou’s brother lost his life in freeing the hostages at Entibe. He remembers this all.

Oddly enough in Britain they do profile but do not admit it. I have been in an out of Heathrow literaly hundreds of times and was never pulled aside for extra scutiny. Three times I was when accompanied by my wife whom is Mexican and could be mistaken for Arab. They were polite and thorough and we then went on our way with no problems. At the check in line prior to the counter were agents that would ask polite questions of where you had been and where you were going etc. They were looking for “tells” from the flyers. The tell with me is a white boy from the USA traveling with what looked to them like an Arab. I have no problem with this. They made sure my plane was safe. My wife was a bit irritated because in an adjacent line was an agent that could speak Spanish. He would have known she was Mexican. Actually I think our agent was either Dutch or German as he spoke to others in those languages and his English though perfect was with a heavy accent.

Security at London Heathrow is very good!

Oddly enough the last time we went to Spain when my wife went through customs ahead of me they knew exactly what a Mexican was an waved her through. They took me aside for extra scrutiny.

This is all good. The TSA sucks.

The info caeds in the rack look like they are printed in Japanese and the person presenting as a wench has black hair, so it is consistent.

Can a rhetorical question be exaggerated? I guess so!

Recently flew out of the country through Dulles. There was a pat down despite TSA pre-check status. No big deal.

There may be some printed skirts as you say, but not that one.

Donald Trump mentioned something about making changes at the TSA during his acceptance speech in Cleveland last July.

I assumed he was going to rein in their invasive searches.

Now they’re becoming worse, not better???

Likely fake as it turns out.

At some point, it becomes cheaper to buy an airline ticket than to pay for a “back room” in the local strip bar. If TSA provides that service at a lower price, they will attract customers.
