Some will say that too much is better than too few [1]. But having your passport checked once at the custom, once by the company staff and once directly when going down from the plain [2] is really annoying.
Being treated as a potential terrorist at each corner of the street is a bit insulting. Security could be more subtle.
Whatever. If I have to accept it to go in holiday, I’ll do. But then I pass through the metal detector and my personal effects in the X-rays and a strange think happens: when I am asked [3] to remove my jacket (going to the X-rays, logic) before passing the metal detector, the two girls that were with us doing the same are told not to.
In summary:
- guys have to remove their jacket => bad things in their pockets,
- girls don’t => only clean handkerchief in the pocket, what else?
I’m not sure how to interpret such a thing. It seems to me like men are considered more dangerous than women. Are terrorists unisex?
Now, the question is obvious to me: in what direction the sexism goes?
- should men be offended to be considered more dangerous than women, or
- should women be offended to be considered as inoffensive beings?
