You, or me do something like that,and our ass would be doing the jailhouse rock.

In 2004, we [my wife and I] flew form Tampa, Florida. i had to remove my shoes and socks. While I was doing this, a group of individuals walked by dressed in mid eastern clothing. They were motioned through without so much as a side glance. After returning to Tampa, I have not even thought about flying anywhere again. Other people want to put up with that shit, fine. I won’t.

“While I was doing this, a group of individuals walked by dressed in mid eastern clothing. They were motioned through without so much as a side glance.”

About a month ago I posted about a similar experience we had at LAX in March. Some posters accused me of not telling the truth. TSA scrutinized our cats (we were relocating) much more harshly than the foreigners. In fact, every step along the way TSA, airline agents, etc., were going overboard kissing the asses of the middle eastern travelers while we were given the third degree.

I haven’t flown since; it’s too grueling and insulting. DH only flies if he absolutely must for business.
