I went in around 4pm and other than the dog handler, who was clearly power tripping, everyone was fairly chill. I think after 2 hours of solid checking people on a whim and not finding anything, maybe they'd lost some of their vigor. 

I doubt you'd get much out of complaining, although the searches were filmed, so you never know.  My feeling is, unless you could prove the handlers were either targeting people or straight making sh*t up, there's little that can be done. 

Yeah this was my experience (on The Strokes day). The handler was trying to play the bad cop bully and was totally full of it ("where are the drugs?!??" "Errr... I don't have any drugs", "the dog says otherwise"), while everyone else was just doing their job.

I don't *think* she was profiling, just thrusting the dog at people and getting a trickle through to be searched. Maybe she's on a target.

My idea? Put her on a commission next time based on drugs found: people searched. Might make her a bit more discerning.
