Ridiculous Airline Security Story N+1 and N+2...
MY only question in regards to this topic are these: How many members of this mailing list have been selected for search? How many of these are NOT registered republicans or democrats? While I was selected (both going and returning to Ca) I talked to people at the table, none of them were dems or repubs (I was registered libertarian, one guy was green and another libertarian). Is there algorithm really "What are they registered to vote"? Max Inux

You need to know more to answer your doubts. You need to know background rates. FWIW I'm a registered lib and fly out of an airport with a bronze sculpture of John Wayne monthly; I've not felt singled out. libertarian, one guy was green and another libertarian).

Certain flights are going to have certain demographics -are you on a biz shuttle w/ dot-commers to SF or a grandma & kids flight to Disneyland? What fraction of citizens are registered as Demopublicans anyway? .... I'm not belittling your questions or claims but I'm pointing out you have to look at how much others are hassled too. I've seen upper crust whitehaired women get hassled more than hirsuit me because I have the fractional clue to remove metal from my person, and don't wear steel-toed boots. Or earrings, chains, rings, belt buckles, etc.
From what I gather, their pre-boarding 'random' checks are *quality control* on their regular magnetometer/screening points.
