My husband and I get pulled out every time! We can't figure out what we are doing wrong! We are both white kind of well off people. Not only do they search us a couple of times we have had extended searches where our checked baggage shows up at the check point and they go through everything. Open our cameras bath items , check our hair and mouths. The last time the woman even had her hands inside my bra!They held the plane to load our baggage and us! The other people on the plane were scared of us. So strange. If anyone has a clue why this happens please let me know. We are in our 50's . We are planning a trip soon my husband said this time we should wear our PJ's and flip-flops to make it easy on them!

Well really you'vee got a point, clues in the name-Anglo Saxon.Name comes from two of the three Germanic tribes that came to Britain, Angles and Saxons. So therefor can only really be applied to people who are from the lands those tribes settled.If that's what Americans perception of the term Anglo Saxon is, what do they think it means when it comes to the Anglican Church?? And Laurence, the seax (not sax), or scramaseax was a short knife rather akin to a modern day penknife, that is where the name Saxon came from, given by the Romans to most Germans who used such a knife, in the same way as Scots still call us sasenachts (which is Saxon but to their ears and language).A scramaseax was used for everyday chores but could also help in tight spaces or a shield wall, anywhere a sword could not be swung.They also used another blade called the langseax (longseax) which was again a single edged weapon, bigger than a scramaseax but smaller than a sword, about the same length as a machette today.This would have been used by warriors that could not afford a sword. Yes the Jutes did settle Kent and the isle of wight (there is conjecture that that is how the name "wight" comes from, a corruption of isle of jute) but both of these kingdoms were eventually invaded and absorbed into other kingdoms, Mercia invaded the isle of wight and and forced the Jutes to convert to christianity, then a couple of hundred years later both were annexed to the Kingdom of Wessex. Would if possible like to know a little more about the two villages that show how high deformity rates due to inter breeding though, i had not heard of this. Basically the English are called Anglo Saxons because they were the two biggest tribes side by side in England (the name England stems from Anglalond,or land of the Angles) so unless there is another nation somewhere where the two largest groups of people are the Angles and the Saxons then really the term should only be used for England. I suppose from that people will now say "oh yes, in Germany the Anglo Saxons were side by side" but one thing.....the Angles do not exist there as a tribe anymore! The term is English and English only.Americans need to read more books and watch less films for their education!

Bill Jones, John Smith, Timothy McVey, you're right. We shouldn't check out any of those guys.
You said "Stop wasting my my time and other American citizens time by pulling us aside". What about a fellow citizen who was born here but who's parents were from Pakistan? Should they be left alone? If not then what you are really saying is that white Americans should be left alone.

Um, have you seen a picture of Timothy McVeigh? Or D.B. Cooper? Yes, recently airline attacks have been perpetrated by Muslims, but they aren't the only ones who ever have or ever will. What's more, there are Americans of Anglo-Saxon descent who are Muslim.
Studies show that using racial profiling DECREASES the chances of finding a criminal, because it keeps security personnel from concentrating on things that matter like, say, the firearm in the (white, anglosaxon) person's luggage.

dumbest post in a while..
random blind security screening is a GOOD idea.. I mean really, if terrorist knew that security would ONLY screen obviously Islamic looking people - they would simply select the lightest skinned, least arab-looking terrorists for the job..
are you fogetting about the white terrorists that blew up the building in Oklahoma, or the American Taliban guy??

Anglo-Saxons are not normal looking. They are so pale,ill looking almost and all that hair gives them a bestial aspect.The history of Anglo-Saxons indicates that in large groups they are prone to murder,rape and theft among other crimes against humanity. Individually they are irreligious, greedy and untrustworthy. They generally have no art or music except that they have stolen from other cultures.Their very languge is full of words stolen from peoples they have abused. I would definitely watch them.

Its the Liberal way of being politically correct. Instead of searching for real threats, they make a game out it by "Not profiling" and wasting valuable time and money searching white America.

So Muslims won't be offended.... I think Americans should be offended and speak out. Muslim Americans should be speaking out against Muslim terrorism, but they don't, they try to tell us why it is happening.... BS, they support it if they don't speak out against it.... I wonder if other Muslims would kill them for speaking out..... that must be it, afraid to utter a protest..... wouldn't be in with the Muslim-in-crowd by speaking against their brethern.
