Airport security measures have given me a sense of what it is like to be "profiled" even though it is random. I find myself more empathetic for those non-WASPS who have had to put up with it. There's an alternative to air, and it is called Amtrack. And it is only 7 times more expensive and 12 times more time-consuming than plane travel. In 1974, I flew home to San Diego to see my parents. It cost me $550 on Delta. Twenty eight years later, I just bought a ticket from Southwest Airlines to take the same trip. $238. A no-brainer for me.
