UM: Airport Security

Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Daniel Rubin writes about the experience of UM student Rebecca Solomon, who was questioned by security at Philadelphia International Airport. The security guard told her he’d found a bag of fine, white powder in her carry-on bag. Then he told her it was a joke. Rubin writes: “When she complained to airport security, Solomon said, she was told the TSA worker had been training the staff to detect contraband. She was shocked that no one took him off the floor, she said. ‘It was such a violation … I’d come early. I’d done everything right. And they were kidding about it.’” [Source]
