Outrageous! shakes fist Yeah, I see this too when travelling with a friend born in Egypt. They must be using some weird random distribution... where they get picked way more frequently than others. Also, I heard phrases like 'you two go through you are obviously english' from a security guard at gatwick in london. (terrible airport by the way... terminal 5 all the way!) Of course you do not want to kick up a fuss or comment, because you might miss your plane or not be let out/into a country. It's always good to just be free and easy with authority like that. No need to ruin your week/month really. I do respect people who stand up to them, and hold them up to law. It's people like the man in the article that make it better for all of us. The security guards are often not very well educated, so I imagine more of them would be racist. The question should be, is this part of the process or part of the individual security guards being bad? My 90+ year old grandmother got a body cavity search in rome italy. This is a sweet, friendly old lady going to see some religious things. I don't hold much respect for air port security... I think there are a bunch of bad apples in there abusing their power. There are mostly nice ones I must say... just some really rotten ones given power spoil it I think.
