    which the streamer said felt anything but random and “routine”.

    I think the issue is this is routine…

    He said the officer was particularly focused on his criticism of Israel’s prosecution of the Gaza war, asking him: “Do you like Hamas? Like, do you support Hamas? Do you think Hamas is a resistance group?”

    In response, Piker said he told the officer that he was a “pacifist” and wanted “the endless bloodshed to end”.

    If he had said anything close to “yes” to those questions, they’d have called him a terrorist and sent him to the death camp.

      He should have leaned in and answered those questions with, “Are you a Nazi?”, with a dead serious stare into the guy’s soul.

      I know I am on lists. I flew out of ORD yesterday. I have TSAPrecheck. Metal detector flagged me for “random” additional screening, which means body scanner. Body scanner flagged my groin, I lifted my shirt to show my belt buckle. “No, it’s lower than that.” I got a big old feel up for my trouble.

      I don’t even have two testicles. Now I know I’m on lists. That shit was not random.

        Try flipping a coin and see if you get an unusual pattern after a few tosses. Could be some heads in a row or tails in a row or alternating.

        They’re weighting the coins funny.
