I fly often my question would be what triggered the search?

so, if TSA does "random" searches on nothing but 20-50 year old Muslim men, they'll get chastised for profiling. If they mix it up and search a sampling of everyone, no matter how absurd it might be, they get chastised for searching the "weak and feeble".

Was it 84 year old concentration camp survivors who hijacked the planes?

They are contemplating booting TSA from the Orlando airport because of their thuggery. Kind of like tipping the first domino.

my point is that people bitch either way. Either TSA profiles to the extreme and gets criticized, or they go completely random and get criticized.

This makes a bad headline, but the second you make any group of people exempt from security measures, that’s the group someone with bad intentions will exploit.

Very simple..... if you don't want to be screened don't fly.

So I can be sure in saying that she has never once been to Israel

At her age with a walker I'd assume she had bandaids or pain patches or an ace bandage or brace. Anything like that where they test it for chemicals. I've been pulled aside for wearing a rotator cuff support brace.
