just got back from vacation new year's eve. security was pretty tight, we sat next to this middle eastern looking fella who was stopped 3 times by security. i start to look for something sharp to help when he goes for the cockpit. turns out the guy is a major in the tunesian army here on training. ended up showing us pictures of his kids and all. of course, they made my wife take off her shoes to get on the plane. she apparently also fit the profile.
