OK, I'm confused. Why is everyone coming down so hard on PM_Mama?

We weren't there. Maybe this Customs Officer was out of line. I, for one, am glad the security measures have been increased -- but that doesn't mean I'd be happy if someone really went out of the way to be nasty! In fact, the best way for Customs, the police, airport security, etc. to get cooperation is to be as professional as possible.

Or, maybe PM is over-reacting. I don't know. I wasn't there.

Now, somebody explain to me how any of this is racist. The fact is that there is profiling going on at the border crossings and airports. And, the fact is also, that the profile she gave of her friend is NOT one that would attract the attention of Customs. So, why is it racist for PM to point that out?

I think PM might be over-reacting to the Customs officer, and she has said that she was drunk when she wrote it -- but, at least in my opinion, these attacks on PM are a little out of hand.
