Lindsay Lohan Says She Was ‘Racially Profiled’ At London Airport

[rpfocus]

From https://www.yahoo.com/style/lindsay-...162347863.html

"She recalled: “When I was flying to New York recently. I was wearing a headscarf and I got stopped at the airport and was racially profiled for the first time in my life.

“She opened my passport and saw Lindsay Lohan and started apologizing but said ‘take off your head scarf’.”

Describing how she felt in that moment, she added: “What scared me was that moment, how would another woman who doesn’t feel comfortable taking off her headscarf feel? That was really interesting to me. I was kind of in shock.

“I can’t speak for what the purpose of it was. But it was jarring. I got double-checked until she realised… It was strange. I’m from New York, born and raised. I was a little intimidated.”"

Irrelevant woman and "news".

If Lindsay Lohan were anything special she would have her own jet and by-pass the screening.

They sure do racial profile at the TSA. The human race, equally humiliating everyone of their privacy. Lindsay Lohan is a drama queen (literally).

So, it's Ok if it's Lindsay Lohan 'cause she's a drama queen- but what if it was your wife or mother? Someone not so famous might have come under some very heavy duress.

What I meant is they(airport security) do it to everybody. They harass old people in wheel chairs and women with babies does not matter what they are wearing. If they only harassed people wearing middle eastern garb she would have merit.

Gosh wonder what'd happen if I wrapped a rag around my head and tried to go through security...

Especially given my full gray beard...
