Pat Downs Not For Afros Only

Yesterday, I sat at my gate at Dayton International Airport replaying my security screening - my hair got pat down! For many naturalistas this is not an uncommon occurrence.  Although not an excuse, who knows what they may be concealing in that carefully sculpted coiffure? But for me, a person still forming her dreads, I was quite confused. To make matters more interesting I went through the body scanning machine. It decided that there was a square on my head that specifically needed to be examined.
The scanner fully highlighted in yellow what needed to be pat down.

So tell me, which of you put a metal plate in my head when i was asleep? And, have these machines been programmed for racial profiling?
