Elderly nuns, not so lucky.

Via The Hill:

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has agreed to stop patting down hair styles that are popular among African-American women after complaints were raised by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

The ACLU’s Northern California office had filed a complaint on behalf of a woman who complained her hair was unfairly searched by TSA officials at airports in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, Minn. in 2013.

TSA officials said Wednesday that have reached “an informal agreement with the ACLU to enhance officer training.”

Racial profiling is not tolerated by TSA,” the agency said in a statement that was provided to The Hill. “Not only is racial profiling prohibited under DHS and agency policy, but it is also an ineffective security tactic.”
