Do you think we should exclude from airport, and buildings, screening all those who are not "male muslims between the ages of say 16 and 45"?

About 2,000 or 5,000 posts ago we had a discussion here about screening those with active Frequent Flyer Mile Club memberships differently than those who airlines know nothing about or who fly one-way paying cash with no luggage.

Did that grandmother meet any of the other factors? Did she have luggage or not? Did she pay cash or by credit card?

Did she buy a one-way ticket, expecting to die and not needing to return? (If so, she should could have brought a note from her doctor. <g>) Bill's post stated she went to "Michigan to be with family members during the final stages of her battle with leukemia." Literally, it seems that she bought a one-way ticket.

That might have triggered TSA's response.

I would like to know more facts before jumping to a conclusion or assessing what was wrong. If this happened last Saturday, there might be more information by now.
