LOL!..wonderful!

...about airports: they have a routine at boarding gates in the US. Even after you have passed first security, they randomly select several passengers for 'extra' checks(a computer just spits out several numbers of boarding passes)...this gives the interesting scene at times of some little old lady and a paunchy businessman being asked to remove their shoes and empty their carry-on luggage, while swarthy young men with accents shuffle by un-impeded. (profiling, we KNOW is objectionable...*grin*)
