When I flew a couple years ago (within a few months after 9-11), they were pulling about 5-10 people per plane aside to do random bag searches. It was totally random. I got pulled to have my bag searched, and I'm white, and many whites did as well on all the flights I was on.
That may have changed as the fear has subsided and people are letting their old prejudices get the better of them.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

They were very PC at that time - it has changed now. Arabs are singled out a lot more.
