Profiling ... no checked luggage, paid cash ...
I've been thinking about recent threads on how security could be improved and I keep coming back to the suggestion that various black hats could have been caught, if only they had noticed that they had no checked luggage and had paid cash for their ticket.
Now, I'm traveling to Washington in a week or so, for a two hour meeting (NO - DON'T ASK), I'll arrive, go to a hotel, sleep, go to the meeting, go shopping, visit some friends, head to the airport, and leave.
No, I won't check a bag. And my ticket, paid by someone else, is being issued by a travel agent. The ticket says "Agent/Invoice" which is correct - and while not exactly cash could be the same thing.
Now I'm confused. Here are two 'obvious' indications of black-hat activity, however I am completely innocent. Will I withstand the rubber gloves of outrageous fortune ... Or are these things only an urban myth?
