Sorry, I still don't get whatever devastatingly clever point you seem to think you're making. I had hoped that you'd just had too much to drink when you posted last night, and after getting a good night's sleep would post something more coherent today. Alas, it was not to be...
It's satire but here, let me break it down for you.
Woman reports guy in accordance with current DHS policy which has been linked to in the thread. Maybe she has anxiety issues, maybe she's racist, maybe she's an idiot....who knows.
Your input on the matter is that Trump is a racist. Um, wow...where did that come from?
As you mentioned liquor, I hope you've just been on a bender because otherwise you have a serious case of political derangement.
Given that the person that complained was illiterate in math and apparently in economics, it is highly likely that she was Feeling the Bern" and outside of her little safe space. Bigoted for the person in the article to complain about "Trump Supporters" without knowing the facts. “What might prevent an epidemic of paranoia? It is hard not to recognize in this incident, the ethos of [Donald] Trump’s voting base,” he wrote. Kind of ironic that he does exactly what he whines of others doing.
Why don't all you geniuses write the Obama administration and have them stop posting all this helpful information.
From DHS - "Informed, alert communities play a critical role in keeping our nation safe. "If You See Something, Say Something™" engages the public in protecting our homeland through awareness–building, partnerships, and other outreach."
But no, you can all sit safe and smug at home making fun of this poor girl for doing what the government suggested she do. I hope none of you are near me during an emergency.
She didn't see anything, maybe she has some issues if she's that stressed out over something so insignificant. If we start turning around planes for nonsense like this we are in deep trouble, ISIS must be laughing at us if this is all it takes to change our lives.

"In accordance with current DHS policy?" Sorry, but that's absurd. Unless of course you can show me the text in those links that urges travelers to report others for doing math on a sheet of paper, or even lists performing mathematical equations as a suspicious activity. Perhaps you can root around in those links and quote the passages that suggest that math could be construed as a "terrorist-related activity."

Don't ask me where it came from, I never said it. You either made it up or didn't read very carefully.

Oh, how so? In what way am I "politically deranged?"
