US Answer: the GrandMother, of course, because instead of looking for suspicious passengers they use random selection, and she was the one who came up for random search.

And this is the truth, which disgusts me. I hate liberals and PC.

My 70YO Mother was pulled aside and systematically searched on a recent trip. Partially disabled and in pain, she was escorted aside and scanned by airport security, despite explicit papers denoting her condition.

I question of the competence of the authorities who make policy that brutally harasses our most gentle and loving of our nation while catering to murderous Islamofascists. They are as much an enemy as the fascists themselves.

I always get searched, because I sometimes fly one way and have apparently been forever branded. And I don't like the inconvenience any more than anyone else.

But what if they exempted elderly people, for example? If you were a terrorist and wanted to secrete something among the belongings of a person or disguise youself as somebody, who would you pick?
