Reminds me of the time I flew to California via Chicago, back in
October of 2001. Bear in mind this was right after 9/11, and all of
the major airports had gone crazy with their new security
procedures.
Anyway, we were lining up at the departure gate at O'Hare to board
the flight to California, and the security folks were "randomly"
selecting passengers to be throughly screened. Ahead of me in the
line were a middle-eastern-looking man, an elderly Caucasian couple
who looked like they could have come straight from a dairy farm in
Wisconsin, and another middle-eastern-looking man (in that order).
Up trots a security official, looking for the next passenger to
screen.... and guess who she picks? That's right, the elderly
Caucasian couple. 
Political correctness rearing its ugly head, methinks.
