    Meet Mr Random

    Yesterday on my way to Brisbane, and after passing through the security barrier at the airport, I was approached by a friendly gentleman who said" Sir, you have been chosen AT RANDOM for an explosive residue teast". Then he went on to rub portions of my clothing and shoes with some cardboard tabs and put them in a machine, then said "thank you , you may go".

    The funny thing is this is the 4th time in a row I travel interstate and I get chosen "AT RANDOM" for the test. I even bet my daughter before entering the airport that I will get chosen AGAIN!

    Is it my ( somewhat handsome) Middle Eastern looks, or the company of Muslim ladies wearing the veil( not the niqab) that attracts attention to me? I am now contemplating getting rid of the moustache which I have had since the age of 14.

    From here on I shall be know as Mr Random!

              I'm a white skinned guy & i've been "randomly chosen" 3 times myself..

              I don't doubt that you were targeted though..Unfortunately the radical behaviour of some "people of middle eastern appearance" on planes worldwide over the last 10 years has made people of similar appearance a target for "extra security"..

              The idiots are spoiling it for the rest of the you..

                Yeah, awesome.

                Momo, I suspect it's a combination of incompetence, laziness and knee jerk reactions.

                Of course, lesser members of the community behaving like dickheads (lawyers I mean) don't help.

                    There was a quote that was bandied about for the IRA years ago that seems app to todays situation and changed for the times.

                    Not all Middle Eastern males are Terrorists.....But all Terrorists are Middle Eastern Males.

                    Sad but if Racial Profiling helps reduce the chances of falling out of the sky then I'd vote for it.
