One woman's account of traveling on Northwest with 14 Middle Eastern men carrying "musical instruments".
As a former flight attendant, I've heard of a few instances similar to this one. That's why I wondered if perhaps they're just "testing". They know the current laws, I presume, so are aware they're untouchable for the most part.
I'll be traveling a good amount starting next month and plan to be politically incorrect and doing my *own* racial profiling. If I see even close to what this woman saw, I'm outta there.
I was pulled aside for the "special" search while traveling last month. When I asked the security personnel how I got picked, she said "it's all done by computer." How comforting.
I remember his interviews on several TV news shows once the FBI completed their investigation and verification of his claims.
Most of us will be vigilant in watching for anything out of the ordinary now, I think, but the fact that he took note and voiced concerns a month before 9/11/01 is a tribute to Woods' powers of observation.
