Not arguing that you have cause for complaint if you are being unfairly targetted due to raicial profiling, but ultimately you are being selected because *they* think that you are a potential security threat and deserve closer screening to ensure that you are not a threat.

The women in question were not being selected to be screened because they were perceived as a potential threat (the mandate for screening) they were being selected simply to perve on. This is totally unjustified under any defensible scenario.

I think you mean 'passed', unless you are implying he got over the hate...

*Snort* Now I need to clean my display.

Personally I find I'm ok in small groups, say one-on-one or maybe up to 2 or 3 others, but after that I just go curl up in a corner and watch.

I find complex concepts requiring clarification and validation that the recipient comprehends work better via voice, in person if at all possible.

Broadcasting of information works better in writing, as it allows time to craft the message to hopefully remove ambiguity. It's also good for answering Yes or No questions. Not so good for maybe, more information required questions.

I consider myself to be introverted, but will use either method depending on which I feel is more appropriate for the information I am trying to communicate.

I was told by a doctor 20 something years ago after an adverse reaction that I was allergic to erythromycin. My husband was told for years that due to a inherited genetic disorder he was highly likely to be allergic to penicillin. We won't be sharing anti-biotics in a hurry.

I consider myself 'allergic' to strawberries and crustaceans. In the case of the fishy things, I came to this conclusion after the third incident out of three times I tried eating it that resulted in me throwing up for a number of hours shortly after ingestion.

The strawberry thing 'might' be psychosomatic due to persistent doesing with a childrens strawberry flavoured medication as a child which made me ill, but all occasions that I can remember ingesting strawberries - even unknowingly until after the fact, damn mixed berry jam glazes not marked on the packaging - have resulted in migraine and prolonged vomiting. The speed of the reaction is in anaphalxis territory and the required dosage to trigger a reaction is quite low.

I wouldn't have a good idea of whether I've 'grown out of it' simply because I go to great lengths to avoid accidental consumption.

I though it meant they'd been sued down to the bare boards.

Unless of course you require treatment that is not covered by Medicare, such as a liver MRI for a suspected tumour ($800 out of pocket on the day with no warning) or is only partially funded but expensive like IVF.
