As I bet they would. I was in Walmart yesterday and everyone had on a mask. I asked a checkout if this was a holdup and she laughed. Just this morning I am seeing how robbers can blend in more easily now because everyone is wearing a mask. This was on the news.
The magic words for getting through security quickly is to holler "Allahu Akbar!" and just run through the check area!
With my Spanish Accent... all you gonna get is a lot of Laughs as I Salsa my way to the check area.
@GipsyOfNewSpain Seeing your picture, imagining you yelling "Allahu Akbar!" in a Spanish accent and then proceeding to Salsa through the check out . . . that produced a laugh right here!
I did laugh but . . . . . too many want America to only be for white people who believe in fairy tales.
That Photo was taken about 8-10 years ago on my Allstate Days. A clipped version of just my eyes and cloth around them was the Wallpaper in my Smart Phone until Airport Security saw it on the airport and questioned me about the photo. I remember calling him... "Idiot I had a Top Secret Security Clearance in the US Navy before you were born!!! I did jobs you will never be cleared or qualified to do so you either let me move on or bring me your supervisor, I want a witness when I embarrass you fool". On a very loud voice I may add.
