"Rotten punk!"
Last Friday evening we left on a Southwest Air flight from Baltimore to Louisville.
After the random selection had been made for fat white guys to be field stripped, an Arab who had been sitting there for as long as we had bothered to acquire a boarding pass.
That meant he would not be subjected to special inspection.
Once on the plane he sat in the middle, over the wing, right near us.
When we returned (Louisville to Baltimore), my sons who were carrying some very expensive electronic and photography equipment were pulled aside for a complete field stripping operation.
I was not. I immediately moved over toward the equipment just laying there in the tubs to protect it. A supposed security agent was right there with her hands on the tubs trying to move them further away. I stopped her and we had a discussion about professional thieves and I'd love to file a complaint if her hands didn't return to her sides.
End of story.
I have ZERO confidence in the security procedures my old buddy Norm has put in place. Seems to me that all that has been done is to make life much easier for thieves, and young Arab men.
