This reminds me of an incident with a friend of mine. He flew to the US and entered through Texas. He is white with blond hair and he was wearing a t-shirt very reminiscent of the Confederate flag.

A security guard picked up his bag from the carousel, handed it to him, and very emphatically said "Welcome home, sir!".



That’s actually not an example of someone with an American passport being prevented in because of their skin color.


How would a guard know who a bag belongs to?


It must have been the x-ray conveyer belt, not the carousel.


Pretty sure you don't go through an x-ray conveyor belt when you exit a plane.

I think something was lost in the telling. I could see a kiosk worker saying this or similar.


On intl flights thru Houston I’ve had to exit, grab bags, carry them to security again, then proceed to the next leg of flight.


What is the incident? The security guard being nice?
