I was profiled for advanced screening on my flight today...and I survived just fine.
Going through security this morning, I was careful as I always am about making sure all my stuff was out of my pockets and I did not have any contraband.
Flying in business class back from Europe to Chicago for Thanksgiving I did not want any trouble. Then the alarm goes off. So I said to the security agent, gee I usually don't set off the alarm and he told me that I was chosen for heightened screening.
So I was interested, basically a white male in his 40's travelling in business class...I guess I am being profiled.
So then he did the enhanced pat down (some call it groping)and was professional and efficient about it. And I was on my way.
You know in the end, I did feel better about the enhanced pat downs and in the end, I am glad they were profiling white males in the business class queue...
So that is my travel story for Thanksgiving...have fun eating all those turkeys!
