Hi
That is not so unusual. You should try being a non us citizen. I call it racial profiling. Didnt even wait for the machine to beep was taken aside and was made to wait in a different cue. Keep in mind i was travelling with my child. Every time i caught a plane, i was padded down, shoes taken and x rayed, feet were checked for explosives (roll eyes) Jumpers and coats had to be removed and all hand luggage was thoroughly searched. I was finger printed and photographed. Welcome to America! i caught 7 flights and by then end of it i had had enough. Dont mean to be rude about yr country but it was major over kill.
