American security at airports sucks, it's a fucking farce. Stop over night in New York on your way to LA and you're subjected to an extra search because the rules say so.

Your ages are 56, 28, 5. You're white obviously a family, blonde wife, blonde daughter and a greying balding English guy. But still they NEED to search your luggage.

You're a Iranian student changing planes at JFK and they don't say squat because to target you would be racial.

They have lines backed up for hours doing a cursory search of everyone, 99% are obviously not terrorist but have to be search so as to be Politically Correct. So they don't look at the luggage of the most likely.
