As a man with long hair (and a dark-ish complexion), they are constantly requesting to search through my hair at the airport. It feels like an absurd request every time, especially since most women with long hair aren't being searched in the same manner.

- cydonian_monk 7y agoAs a lily-white redheaded bearded guy of Irish descent, I stopped flying (and going to baseball games) because I was consistently being "randomly" selected for whatever new xray machine + rub down + run a pick through my beard + wands everywhere invasive search the TSA decided to implement that week. Just not worth paying a thousand or more dollars to be harassed and threatened.
- jjeaff 7y agoDo you think it was the beard? Is this a really big beard? I've never heard of people getting selected more often because of a beard.
- cydonian_monk 7y agoWho knows. I'm not really sure and I never asked either (not that they'd tell me). It's not a particularly long beard. Maybe I just look suspicious to them.
