I used to set off the alarm every time I walked through. Tired of being frisked, I empty my pockets completely into the bowl and take off my belt. They still search my bag. "Turn on that radio sir." It is tempting to say BANG! when I do so, but I know better.
Does it seem strange to anyone else that an intern at the 'immigrant defense project' would be one of the very few claims of racial profiling--and that he'd be stopped not once, because of profiling, but three times?
