Not a new problem unfortunately.
Among the things courts or cops have deemed “suspicious”:
Booking a nonstop flight
Booking a flight with a layover
Traveling alone
Traveling with a companion
People who appear nervous
People who appear ?too calm?
You left off these ones from the list which are pretty funny
Being the first person off a plane
Being the last person off a plane
Someone authorities believe has tried to blend in to the middle of exiting passengers’
So… getting off a plane then.
Being hatless
Being hatted
