You understand, our of our traveling group my father, at the time 75, was the only one singled out for enhanced search.
The immigrantion and TSA are not the brightest, it's security theater & they need stats.
stories like this are now coming into the spotlight because white people are also getting the treatment everyone else has gotten up until now....and it's a shock to them.
I would advise against traveling to the US.
Being singled out for inspection is extremely different to being chained and imprisoned.
Stories like this are coming to forefront because America is changing its stance to immigration and tourism to be actively hostile.
Yep. I’ve been travelling with my Muslim friend through the USA. We booked seperately. Our passports are different countries (his is uk, but Muslim name). He was randomly searched at every airport. I never was. It was pretty shocking how blatantly racist the us security apparatus was, first hand. At this point I was only 20 and had no concept of the kind of shit USA police do.
