What I don't get is why they are selecting obviously elderly and/or disabled passengers for a gate check.
It appears that the screeners are "randomly" selecting the LEAST likely candidates to be carried disallowed items.

Think about it, if u were a terrorist wouldn't u select the least likely candidate to carry out your schemes. Eeryones should be a suspect and that includes families and women with babies.
Terrorists are not stupid and they will choose the path of least resistance, therefore profiling is a joke as a security measure in this day and age.
