Auraptor,
No, this is not an urban legend. I got a first hand account from the brother who was detained for half an hour.
They were asking why he was speeding towards the terminal (maybe they said terminal and not "airport"). The point is, they have cams all over the airport and speeding through the airport is suspicious. Then when the driver stops to hand over a package to a passenger, then drives off again, it is suspicious enough for them to detain the driver to investigate. They only let him go after they got a call confirming that the passenger cleared airport security.
I just found it a bit creepy that they would ask about support for the current president. Reminds me of when I lived in military dictatorships.

Governments have created policies to enslaves whole nations or exterminate whole peoples, yet you find yourself in the unique position of a state the might ask you a question, and you through a fit. The lack of perspective you have makes it impossible to ever take you seriously. You shoot your mouth off with no fathomable clue what you’re talking about.

I'll second that. I got stories, but it's not even worth getting into. I just think it's funny watching the usual authoritarian sycophants come out of the woodwork to defend this shit. Are you guys into the kinky whips and chains stuff too?
Seriously, how much fascist cock will you swallow before you gag???

Quote:I know people who have experienced this type of questioning before. I've just never heard of any law enforcement throwing in a question about supporting our current president. That was new to me. Not really surprising, just bothersome that it is probably going to be routine, if not routine already--and that there are people on this board who think it is perfectly ok.

It bothers me that there are apparently a lot of people who like sucking fascist cock in this country. (Thanks to Sarge for that image.)

Oh, it’s far worse then you think. There are all kinds of people who have no problem at all with being asked questions. What kind of society do we live in when someone can be asked a question??!! It’s fascist, I say, fascist!!!!
Fascism n. A political philosophy in which questions are sometimes asked.

I find it hard to buy that they'd ID a car coming in to the area at a high rate of speed, let the driver park/ pull over, what ever....long enough to pass off a package, and then drive away w/ out detaining said driver on the spot.
I also find it odd to ask about supporting the President. Maybe the officer/ agent saw a bumper sticker or something which made him think of it. Who knows. Might be he was just on some power trip, and just wanted to F w/ your friend, whom ever.

These are the type of questions that good security services use to "profile" for potential threats. The questions individually aren't to meaningful, but as a whole they do tell quite a bit about the person answering them. For example, if the driver has a NASCAR sticker on his rear window and the cop asks "Why were you speeding towards the airport?", the cop would expect the driver to take great pride in their rate of speed to the airport. This somewhat confirms to the cop that the person and the car go together. If the cop then asks the NASCAR fan "Do you support our current president?", and the driver looks at him in confusion and then asks "who is the current President", this confirms to the cop that the person truly is a NASCAR fan.

It's really strange that some people - like Finn - think it's ok if police ask political affiliation questions.

Oh, I think it's "ok" if police ask any question they want. It doesn't mean I'm going to answer every question they ask, but they can certainly ask it.

When you refuse to answer the questions they ask you're refusing to comply with the reasonable request of an officer and they can tase you.
