Remember, just 'cause you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. LOL
Guess I won't pack the Anarchist's Handbook for my next international trip.
I could see tracking race because Congress demanded to know they weren't racial profiling. It's funny how we focus on race to make sure we aren't focussing on race. Maybe that will change someday and we'll realize MLK's dream of seeing each other as individuals.
I could also see wondering why someone carried multiple flashlights although I'm wondering what he was carrying? I carry a small led flashlight about 2/3 the size of my pinkie. If someone came through TSA with four of those, a larger mag lite or two and 10 tiny "squeeze" led flashlights, I'd probably ask why and note the answer.
