Thank you for confirming the email I was sent. Someone mentioned that it was probably and Urban Legend and another said they hadn't heard of that and they work at the airline. (For a minute I thought perhaps it was an "Urban Legend").

I too worked for an airline up until the terrorist attacks and I know for a fact that airlines profile passengers. Whether people would like to admit it or not- it happens. If your name is foreign your profiled, if you have a certain attire your profiled. Maybe not all airlines but enough profile.

For those who wear suits and aren't randomly checked more power to you. However, I know two very successful black men who went to board the plane wearing suits (no locks or full beards, rather clean cut) and they were checked. They too felt it was humilitaing. And this was before the terrorist attacks so I know it happens. A suit is not a "random check" waiver.
