So, you were random passengers pulled from the line too? I was pulled from Vegas to Reno and from Reno to Vegas. Southwest screeners thought I was a terrorist but United did not.
I sat next to another Christian conservative who was also pulled from the line Reno to Vegas. They certainly aren't searching who they should be searching with the random window dressing. It's like they pick harmless looking people so that they won't give them any trouble.
They're probably scared to death to search anyone that they thought might be a terrorist with a bomb.
The terrorist would probably hand it to them and detonate it!
