I have a hard time believing someone would be so bold as to say "You caught my eye, they didn't." I am not saying that it isn't possible, but I look at it through my eyes. I like having a clean record at work and I think a statement like that would be too high risk for serious complaint.
How hard would to have been to say "It is a TSA regulation that people are selected for additional screening..."
I like the way things are done up here a lot better. Someone steps on a mat, from there the person either has additional screening or not. As well, they are given their choice of a body scan or a pat down.
