@Mesaclone Pay attention.
"As for the pictures of nuns, and wheelchair bourne kids, and crying women...do you not think ISIS or a Chechnian terrorist for example, wouldn't use a nun, or a grandma, or a child to transport explosives. Let me answer that for you...they would and they have. So if you suddenly do not search those people..
.as your pictorial suggests"
That's my pictorial. You ascribed it to
@driftdiver.
The gang that physically assaulted my mother were a clatch of anemic, pot bellied youngsters half my age.
IF, I had been a threat to Anyone, much less Airline Security, I could have gone through them with my BARE HANDS and put half of them, at least, in the ER. The causeway was on the outside of the airport, outside of Check In. I could have just as easily been Coming in as Going out and those buffoons had no way of knowing that. If I had been a terrorist (I don't fit the Known Profile of a Military Age Middle Eastern male) I could have been armed to the gills under my jacket.
In short, they reacted as they have become Accustomed to react, because They Don't Do S%%t!
They call for backup, in my case that would have been the at least 3 State Police Cruisers always circling the Concourse just outside the door.
As actual Security, without an overwhelming superiority in numbers and real, Armed State Police, they're worthless.
Their intent, in my case, was to PROVOKE an incident.
If I'd been stupid enough to take the bait and even give them the verbal dressing down they deserved I'd probably still be in jail, after They radioed for Daddy (State Police) to come save them from themselves.
