At the airports in UK you sometimes have to take of your shoes and let them go through a scanner. It takes a lot of time so they don’t make everybody go through it. They have different members of there staff that chooses who gets check and who passes whit there shoes on.
Its quite a complicates process, to get your shoes of as fast as possible whit out letting go of your luggage, then trying to get them on in a crowded area that’s way to small while the lucky people (the once whit there shoes one) passes by.
Since we had some extra time and my curiosity of the “way of randomly being picked every single time” I study there “system”, lets just say it was pretty clear that if your English or west European the chance of getting out of the “shoes off, shoes on” process is a lot bigger then for the rest, I’m not saying that they all pass, of course not, but I’ll say that its a 50/50 percent chance that they will, which fits in good whit the “randomly picked policy”.
But if you’re from another country, you will only pass if it’s really crowded and they can’t check allot of people. And when it comes to airport I’m really glad that I’m a girl.
I once flew whit my friend to London, he’s a blackiness (I know! Its pretty cool huh?) And he has an American passport, and I swear we got stopped every were possible and more, just randomly outside a tax free shop two policemen’s wanted to se his passport, even after every thing was checked in and we were almost on the airbus to the flight, he got stopped and they search his bag, (The scanner did dent see anything suspects about his bag, but I guess being a black man whit dreads in Europe isn’t that easy sometimes”
I have never ever been to the airport and passed the shoe scanner wearing my shoes… My point is:
We get randomly picked so fucking often that it’s not even random anymore
