This past week my cousin and I returned to Dulles from a vacation in China. At IAD, she was traveling, one way, to TPA, so that immediately caused her to be selected for a special security search.
The “special” line, at 7:20 am, was very long. In fact, a young Caucasian gal (about 25 yrs. old) missed her 8 am flight because of the long line. I saw men and women, mostly Caucasian, in that 45 minute long line, ranging in age from what appeared to be 25 to 80 yrs old. Why oh why can’t we profile somewhat and avoid the inconvenience?
In another security line, I noticed a Middle Eastern TPA worker wearing a turban, and in charge of watching the Xray monitors as passengers’ baggage went through the belt.
