They don't admit it buddy, but I'm sure they do profile. Before , I travelled everywhere and with my friendly demeanor and disarming personality
, I rarely ever even got my luggage opened. Lately, with nothing changed but the climate of fear, I get the full treatment every time and looking in the mirror, I understand why. Even to me, I look like a friggin' radical. I kid with them and take it cheerfully because putting myself in their shoes, I would look me over too.
Now, having said that, this punk had everything going against his chances for success . His own father reported him and I don't care who it is - it usually takes a lot for most fathers to turn in their own sons. He was on the watch list, he paid cash and checked in no luggage on an international flight. How he managed to board without at least a thorough search needs to be explained. Somebody was either complicit or really phuckin' negligent and some heads need to roll.
