Rick in the USA.

TSA SAYS NO! Everyone who landed had to go through some retarded "processing" which consisted of nothing but looking at my passport, taking fingerprints (which they already took at my visa interview) and stamping far too much. This happened after I had to wait in that line for a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes. They had 4 people doing the processing. They have two Boeing 747s worth of people land, and they assign FOUR people? Over half the stations were unmanned.

I'm not even kidding when I say "be happy your last name doesn't sound Muslim". I had a plane switch in Boston two years ago when I was on my way back from Dallas and our baggage was lost. We got it back three days later and one of the locks was damaged and they cracked a tupperware box of food almost in half. It wasn't the baggage handlers either, Homelands Security was nice enough to leave a card with their logo inside our suitcase to make sure we knew they searched our pomegranate.

My dad was pulled out of a line once in 2009 for fingerprinting, processing, and questioning also because of his last name. What you went through was nowhere near as bad as it could be.

also because airports are busy suspecting at least half the brown people that pass through everyone else has to sit through longer lines.
