Passenger Interviews Part of New Security for US-Bound Flights
A number of airlines operating to the US have indicated they will be implementing new security measures this week for US-bound flights. (atwonline.com) Más...Associations flightaware kandiaré mali
LOL during my latest air venture a couple weeks ago, I chuckled at remembering that check-in staff used to ask "did anyone ask you to carry something in your bag?" Just when I thought logic had prevailed, we are back to interviews by staff who likely think the questions are just as ludicrous as PAX.
Still can't explain to my daughter who asked years ago, "dad, we take off our shoes because of the shoe bomber, right? What about the underwear bomber?"
On liquids, my other daughter observed, "why wouldn't bad guys just all bring a bunch of 3 ounce bottle on the plane and pour them into a big container."
Middle-schoolers are smarter than we are.

Oh no, not politically incorrect racial profiling! Just because it works and the Israelis have been doing this all along and weeding out potential threats doesn't mean WE should have this done. What if we hurt someone's feelings?
You are right! I consider very dangerous to have a white US citizen sitting on my airplane, given the love for weapons they demonstrate and the number of mass shooting happening in that country, almost every day!
Hope they will apply racial profiling to US citizen visiting Europe or the rest of the world. They are *statistically* very dangerous and unpredictable.

You're safe paqheca. We can't bring our weapons on board planes. I think we ARE now allowed to bring paper clips though. The horror . . . . .
Ho, that's great! You are not allowed as well as the other "races", aka the bad ones, I guess... So, what's the aim of racial profiling?
The "aim" of profiling is to prevent air disasters and 911 type events. Shaking down 98 year old grandmothers in the name of 'safety' is ludicrous. Granny has to undergo this crap so we don't hurt the feelings of a burka wearing Muslim who will NOT be checked. How does THAT make sense?
For the same reason why we shake down 20 something year old white people so the Middle Eastern, SE Asian, and AAPI Americans do have their feelings hurt.
Your comment here is exactly why we have this issue to begin with. You're all being reactive to a problem and protectionist, when playing that card never wins. Each time you do, the terrorists win.

Again, I fully agree with you! Unfortunately, Tommy, removing burkas and any other garment hiding the identity of a PAX has nothing to do with racial profiling.
