“Unhone phone isliye kiya tha ki random vo chal raha tha ki naam ko dekhkar kisi ka bhi baggage rok lete the (He called because at that time, random checks were going on, where they would stop anyone’s baggage just by looking at the name). They used to stop anyone and make them sit… After 9/11, you could not question security people at the airport.”
