LAX “security”

Qantas Airways chairman Margaret Jackson was detained and frisked at LAX last year:

She said her briefcase had contained detailed plans of a new aircraft, including cross-section diagrams showing seat layouts, Australian newspaper the Herald Sun newspaper reported Wednesday.

“The guy said ‘Why have you got all of this?’,” she said.

“And I said, ‘I’m the chairman of an airline. I’m the chairman of Qantas’. And this black guy, who was, like, eight foot tall, said, ‘But you’re a woman’.”
