This airport literally just tested my body and all my possessions - TopicsExpress



          

This airport literally just tested my body and all my possessions for explosives. I have never been so degraded in my life. I was the only one held up from my entire security checkpoint (for the time I was there, at least!) of 6+ lines of people. While I was getting my breasts and hijab felt up in front of everyone, the TSA officer opened the rope to allow the blonde white woman behind me to go around me, so as to not inconvenience her. As I was standing there getting searched I was about to cry from how dehumanized, offended, and helpless I felt. Racism exists. I am Trayvon Martin. This has to stop.
