An American Airlines employee, boarding an American Airlines flight from an American Airlines bus caused a flight cancellation because he appeared to be of “middle eastern origin”.

And we also have case of flying while a Cancer survivor, in which a woman was made to remove her prosthetic breast and check it through luggage.

It’s not just that this stuff is stupid. This stuff is counterproductive. DHS has, for reasonso of political expedience and incompetence, created an atmosphere where panic reigns, and this makes it easier, not harder for someone wishing to do bad things to succeed.

You end up with primate brain (terrorist) against lizard brain (panic).
