This is heartbreakingly beautiful, Reem. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, though. You're a citizen! So unfair.

This was written so beautifully! I remember the first time I realized that not everyone's experience at the airport was similar to mine. My friend told me how early he got to the airport, and I told him that was WAY too early. That's when he shared that, without fail, he would be pulled from the line for extra screening. Keep sharing your stories. We need to hear them.
