I think it's insane, that they search little old ladies and take away their nailclippers, while are not allowed to search Muslims and Arab appearing people.
I also posted a couple of official directives from the DOT warning against "discrimination", so the writer of the article is correct.

HEY... watch it. They took my nail clippers and I'm only thirty-eight ;-)
Actually, I volunteered them, realized I had them in the bathroom before going through security. I handed them over when I got my boarding pass and said I wanted to contribute to their collection LOL
