Ok, I'm dense on this subject. How precisely is his race or previous employment history relevent to it being ok for him to have explosives in a FedGov airport?
Not that I eschew the idea of everybody being armed in an airport, I don't, in fact, I'd feel safer flying if *everybody* were armed. But since these rules are in place, I'm just curious as to the selective enforcement. Or am I missing something here (complete possibility)?
a) not obviously arab/muslim - ergo not profiling.
b) probably not too grungy - so not profiling.
c)apparently innocent but busted anyway - so everyone pay attention to your stuff or risk being the news.
d) (Note to boss; when Lumpkin calls in from Omaha and tells you he missed the meeting because of a moron with a dummy grenade, you might actually have to believe him.)
