I just had one of the creepiest experiences while flying back from Vietnam with a connection in Ahmedabad.

During the boarding checks, an airport officer kept stopping our group. But what really stood out was that he kept taking **my boarding pass again and again**, staring at it longer than everyone else’s while the rest of us were just standing there waiting.

Eventually he cleared our passes and we moved on.

About **a minute later**, I get an Instagram follow request.

From him.

The only place he could have gotten my name was **my boarding pass**.

I cannot explain how uncomfortable that felt. When someone working in an official position at an airport has access to your personal information, you assume it’s being used for security ,not to look you up on social media.

And the worst part? When I checked his profile, it was full of posts about his government job and political connections, which honestly made the whole thing feel even more unsettling.

If you work at an airport and think this is okay: **it’s not.** If I call out my connections , you can loose your job in a second.

If you are seeing this post I need an apology or else you you're gonna loose your job.
