Does seem like nonsense. On all my recent DL flights, the agent randomly selected every non-native born US citizen for inspection, whether traveling alone or in a pack.</font>
That's pretty funny. On the flights I was on on Delta, the randomly selected folks were elderly people with grandkids. The deadheading pilot that I chatted with was even joking about it with me. He said, yup, the random search. Whatcha wanna bet that they'll choose the women with kids and little old ladies with walkers?
I personally say that they do a one or two of those folks, and then throw in the folks who come from countries where Muslim fanatics are known to come from. You cannot be accused of profiling if you get a couple of old ladies in with a bunch of those folks.
