A Montreal woman with curly hair says airport security has searched her locks multiple times when travelling, without any specific reason.
Christine Rodriguez says she has been travelling regularly for work but claims that in the past month and a half, her hair has been searched three times at different Canadian airports.
She says that at first, she didn’t make much of it. “It was the first time in my life I was asked OK we need to check your hair and I’m like OK… And I kind of laughed,” Rodriguez says.
By the third time it happened, it was no laughing matter. “I said, ‘OK this is ridiculous,’ I was a little bit upset,” Rodriguez explained.
