did I miss something? Where did it say he was black?

I had a bad experience with a TSA “screener” or whatever they call themselves. I had to take off my shoes and put them in a little bin and give it to the screener. That was the last time I saw them for a while.

Evidently what happened was the screener was way behind and so they hid the odd purse or pair of shoes under their counter if the boss might be near. I didn’t know that then as I waited patiently for my shoes to reappear. And waited. I kept asking for my shoes and was ignored or rudely told to get back and I’d get them when I got them. Finally as the final boarding call came, I demanded my shoes and the fit really hit the shan. I wasn’t going on that flight barefooted and each succeeding TSA supervisor was ruder and more threatening than the last. Finally a lowly screener coming on shift reached under the counter and pulled out bin after bin of stuff. Including my shoes.

They were just cheap shoes, but I wasn’t getting off that plane (at my destination) barefoot like a hippy.
