TSA

TSA portrays a Arab man's struggles as he is discriminated against in a airport. The opening words show how this man is entering airport security and tries to act “American”. “My laptop's in a bin. I dig out the keys from my jeans and do my best Midwestern grin” (3-4). However, the man gets searched as he does almost every trip, even though it’s random “the customary strip is never enough for a young brown male whose name comes up at random(5-6). He points out that others like him get screen unfairly as well, just because of their names “my dark unshaven brothers whose names overlap with the crazies and God fiends(15).
