Day 5: Hurry up and Wait

March 7, 2024 - Today was about getting home. We made it through the gauntlet. 2+ hours of driving from Marathon to Miami International Airport. 6-lane freeways, traffic, huge airport, checked bag on opposite end as gate and of course, the security check. We bought overpriced pizza and then had a 45-minute wait for boarding.

Mexican Workers

Dear President Trump, You should have seen how hard those Mexican men worked installing our new carpet. A few years ago, another crew of Mexican men worked really hard to install our new roof. Have you ever done that kind of work? It isn't easy and those guys sure aren't lazy. Border security is important, but let's give these guys some credit for being hardworking. Sincerely, CuTRis

TSA Manager said He was Told to Profile Somalis

http://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/04/27/tsa-manager-says-he-was-told-to-profile-somalis-msp-airport My sense of outrage over this story has been squelched  by the numerous news stories regarding Somalis found guilty of trying to aid ISIS. http://www.startribune.com/feds-charge-another-somali-youth-with-supporting-isil-terrorists/361354001/ In other words, if Swedes were found guilty of aiding ISIS, I would expect that they would be profiled; in order to keep the larger population safe. I'm sorry if this does not sound politically correct, but it seems both practical and logical.
