Members marcanthony Posted November 25, 2011 Members Share Posted November 25, 2011 Should this have happened? not enough information provided in the article to know. if there some kind of legitimate security risk, then yes. if it was strictly profiling, then no. the timing is interesting. they passed through TSA security and the pilot had them removed....

Guest hitoallusa Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Many they had the same to a know terrorist? It's better to be safe rather than to be sorry later. A little bit of incontinence I am willing to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiBottomBoy Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Eh, American students get questioned when they go to other countries as well. Try being 20 and flying to or from South America - you'll get all kinds of drug questions/searches. Try being an attractive female student flying to the UK. You'll get asked if you are an escort (this has happened to many of my female friends.) Try being a young flayboyant gay student flying to France, you'll get asked if you have HIV and are just trying to use your student visa to get free HIV medication. Young people get treated with suspicion by all countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hitoallusa Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I am not a young guy but I got searched once in Japan. On another occasion I had a bottle of lube in my carry on and a TSA agent gave me a very disapproving look and carry the bottle away from me as if it were biohazard waste. Then questioned about another TSA what my occupation is and etc.. It was kind of embarrassing. Eh, American students get questioned when they go to other countries as well.

BiBottomBoy Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yeah, this happens to people of all ages and races so it's not really fair to scream "racism" if it happens to Arab kids. Because, it happens to white kids, black kids and asian kids as well. If you cross a border you might get check out. That's life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
