So What's Wrong With This Picture?
Last set of flights we took, my 12 year old daughter was "selected" for additional screening one one flight, and I was "selected" on another. Luckily, we made our flights, as we had arrived quite early. Others have not been so lucky, and many have been prohibited from flying, period. Why? Because their names came up on CAPPS.
So, for those who think this is a perfectly ok thing, (like those misguided individuals who feel that sacrificing personal liberties for security is a GOOD thing) think of this irony. Osama Bin Laden is NOT on the "do not fly" list. If he showed up at the airport with a ticket, he'd be allowed to march onto the airplane just like I'm not.
