You what all this talk of airport screening makes me think?

I'm a bad traveling companion!

So if you don't want to get stuck in line while they question the communist, muslim, ninja, capoeira, possible eco-terrorist (he works in wellheads, that means he must know how to destroy them!, sure...) guy don't go travelling with me.

I think this brings up their whole questionable screening process, especially assuming descent for you.

As in the Journal article where a Canadian citizen of Somali descent was assumed to be Somali and almost forcibly deported "back". Like me he is as Somali as I'm Malaysian which is not at all. Other then where my grandparents ran away to, to get away from the invading Japanese army, me being Malaysian is purley coincedental.

They have to do a way better job then just assuming and profiling especially if guys like me just happen to have certain ancestry. Just reminds me of Canadian-Japanese internment during WW2. Some of those interned where as Japanese as I am Malaysian. In other words not at all other then coincidents of birth we have no connection to our assumed "mother country".

Yeah, I guess we'll see how it goes now. I wouldn't be surprised if I get pulled aside, but who knows. Nobody's taking my cheese though, I'll tell you that.

Plus Lennie, you study the environment. Nature. That means you're an ECO-TERRORIST!!!

Hang on, Matty, you don't get searched, ever? Have you been on a plane since your Heathrow-weapon adventure?

I get searched (and my stuff, most especially my stuff) every time. EVERY time. Do they know that I have Middle Eastern ancestors? I seriously doubt it. The record keeping way back when everyone emigrated was shite (the 1910's ish, everyone's names were changed, and they came via Argentina). .... and IF they do know that I have Middle Eastern ancestry (Lebanon is in some upheaval of late, after all...), why don't they search my mom? She's a more concentrated version of my Middle Eastern heritage than I am, even if she looks more white and anglo.

Or is it just that I look like I could cause trouble? Maybe they just figured that Albert was shifty enough to be up to something? haha, kidding!


I think most airports act on the premise of "once flagged, always flagged" even if the first flagging was for a random-selection search. I get quizzed at customs all the time too... the fact that I don't have a real job, or that I get bored and often calculate my customs/duty expenditure to the cent I think makes them worry. And so, as a result, I get put through the ringer, and then they take my cheese away.
