when boarding a flight to go home last month, I had to go through 3 levels of security..one to get into the airport here in Doha, one to get to the gate and one after going THRU the gate before boarding the plane!!! When my husband left a week later, the last security check (the mobile unit outside the airport) took some of the gifts he had for his sister...a glass tea set(seems they thought it might be able to be broken and used as a weapon) and another glass object. In my way of thinking, why not take pens or mechanical pencils as well because those can be used to stab...SO, it happens all over the world, not just in America...and not just to Muslims or those that look Middle Eastern.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
