Pulled out of line on a flight from Seattle to L.A. by a group of police and air marshals. Taken to an interrogation room, questioned about my travel plans, carry on luggage searched.
Why?
Because I fit the profile of a high jacker, which was a big deal back in 1970:
• White male
• College age
• Traveling alone
• Purchased one-way ticket with cash (yes, you could do that back in those days)
After marching me back to the line of 150 passengers, they allowed me to board the plane.
Not coincidentally, I had the entire isle to myself.
And the kilo of weed I carried in my checked luggage was unmolested, thank you.
