Random checks

Ask a TSO

What can I do to stop being selected for every random check?

I won’t get into specifics about what flights I was on but I have taken double digit flights since 2024, and I have been the random check at TSA for EVERY SINGLE ONE, I was even made to take off my shoes multiple times when other people do not have to. It’s demeaning, degrading, dehumanizing to be treated differently because I’m brown.

To add some context.

  1. yes I have TSA pre check and clear

  2. I have a phd

  3. I have never had so much as a ticket

  4. I am a US citizen, have been since birth

  5. Happens at multiple airports, most recently Chicago.
