Nicole,

Isn’t it a powerless feeling?

I went through a similar ordeal two years ago upon returning to Canada. What made it so painful was the contempt they treated one with, as if you were a hardened criminal. And, they made me miss my connecting flight.

Yeah, I wrote an entire short story about it …

Most of them are courteous people, but some must hate their jobs, and, basking in the power they yield …

Yes, the screenings are necessary … but it doesn’t take long to know whether a traveler is “clean.”

So, on the bright side—(1) it’s material for prose, in long and short-form! (2) Serves as a reminder why it matters to treat people with respect and dignity and grace …
