You're exactly right. We have a neighborhood luncheon group, and we met last Wednesday. We're all extremely vivacious, intelligent, entertaining, women, (I added this last sentence for my own benefit)
Anyhow, we are all also grandmothers!
Every last one of us had some horror story about our last airline flight. We were each singled out to have our luggage ramshackled, our body wanded, and our shoes removed...is this because we FIT THE PROFILE OF MIDDLE EASTERN MEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 19-40? Or is it because we DON'T?
While the airline security is busy slamming their feet into grandmother's backs to make sure we don't escape with tweezers in our make up bag,
a man wearing a turban, walks through the airport with six pieces of "carry on" luggage, and an overcoat in 90 weather.
We decided, we were pulled aside, because we were easy targets and wouldn't protest, while a likely suspect can't be stopped for fear of violating HIS rights...
Hey Security at airports, We have rights too!!!
We have the right to protection for our safety, and the others passengers on planes.
Go on and check the guy who fits the profile!
The grandmother's of the US will back you up with our tweezers! |
