I'm an average looking, run of the mill white software developer in my late 30's. I still get massive anxiety about taking air trips because of the hassle and harassment I've received in the past from TSA agents.

I have a hope that the backlash against the recent two failed Trump bans will continue to escalate and we'll see the end of this nonsense in our lifetimes. I think even the people who voted for this administration are starting to think it's absurd.

I'm the same, more or less -- middle-aged, boring-looking white dude -- and I also dread encounters with TSA and Border Patrol. Stealing my toothpaste is the least of it. As far as I can tell, the people they hire have the petty-authoritarian mindset of mall security, but with fewer legal constrains on their power.
