I was trying to get through the airport one time going through security. Agent asked me something and I stuttered my answer out so they pulled me aside, eventually took me into a room. Agent came in there, and they strip searched me in front of my two young kids. It wasn’t a native language thing, but they thought since I was stuttering, I was extremely nervous about something. If I could’ve crawled under a rock, I would have. My kids were scared to death.
