And did anyone catch that the "pat-downs" will be more thorough?
Yep, I caught that. I also caught that they are going to provide "favors and waivers" based on "age and gender". See where they are going with this?
Prep work or placate the holiday travellers with grandma? Demographic targetted exemption is what we are talking about here and more secondary searches for the demographically targetted.
