While in line to board a DL flight at IAD, I noticed security had *randomly* chosen a party of four Hispanics, one of them being an extremely overweight man, for an additional gate check. </font>
What does the guy's weight have to do with it? I guess if I were doing security at an airport (personally I would rather hand out Happy Meals), I'd give relatively more scrutiny to the apparently overweight than to the apparently underweight, as the former could be hiding something within their apparent girth. But, it seems like you are saying they should NOT have selected this guy because he was extremely overweight. Can you clarify?
