I can't speak for LindyBill, but there is a lot of frustration in the US about the fact that, in the effort to avoid racial profiling of Muslims, airport personnel bend over backwards to search people who are not conceivably terrorists.

Personally, I don't feel this way. I am mindful of the incident in which a pregnant Irish woman was given a bomb to carry onto a plane by her Muslim lover (by whom she was pregnant!) I can't think of a person who looks less likely to be an Islamic terrorist than a pregnant Irish woman.

So, you never know.
