MY Trip to MY Homeland
Recently I planned a vacation to MY homeland WHICH IS Pakistan. The purpose of the trip was to visit my family. I was supposeD to fly British Airways, but they cancelled their flights to Pakistan BECAUSE OF security reasons,so I ended up flying PAKISTAN INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES(PIA). IT WAS A bit OF A HASSLE to fly PIA as I HAD to fly to JFK to fly home. British AIRWAYS was a better choice as it flew from Boston to HeathrOW and onward to Lahore (Pakistan),BUT I HAD TO TAKE WHAT I COULD GET.
I flew out of Logan via Delta. As always,A SECURITY PERSON STOPPED ME AND SAID, "Sir, you have been randomly selected for special screeNing." IT SEEMS 90% of the time I am always "randomly" selected for special screeNing. It wasn't a suRprise to me to be sorted out and specialLY screeNED. I don't mind special screening - if it MAKES EVERYBODY feel comfortable. Please go ahead and search me! BUT please be honest and EXPLAIN. MY name starts with so and so or MY ethnicity is such and such so I have to BE SUBJECT TO special screeNing rules. I will accept such AN explanation, rather thAn BEING TOLD THAT I am BEING "randomly" selected for special screeNing. ( By the way, if you have "ssss" - four s at the right lower corner of your boarding pass, that means you HAVE BEEN selected for special screening.) Finally I boArded the plane and landed AT JFK safely.

Well, "Mr. Zorro", it is so nice to hear from you! This is a first; it is the first post written on this blog from Pakistan.(Please notice te punctuation of that last sentence.) I will correct your most interesting story later. I cannot do it right now because my daughter has a problem with her car and I must help her, but I am absolutely THRILLED to have you writing! Be sure (if you can) to make a copy of this story and bring it back on the plane with you. Also write down your password so you don't forget it. This is very important! I have had many former students write to me and ask me for their password and I cannot tell them what it is because I don't know it. They want to write, but they can't.
