Just happened to me now. It shows total incompetence to hire SECURITAS security agents. I fly often via Frankfurt. They always hire some black or asian employyes or contractors who are extremely racist especially towards whites and ask a ton of illegal questions about where you had been over the last couple of days, how long one had been away from Ireland etc. They also come accross very rude. I hate travelling via FRA airport, any other airport in Europe and the US is more respectful of travellers than the frankfurt airport and indirectly Lufthansa, who cooperate with themin that matter. Good advise, fly via MUC or Zurich or London. Avoid Frankfurt at any costs.

I was not hasseled because of my color. I am of Irish-French decent , born in the US and about as Irish as you can get. I was hasseled because I was traveling from Tehran. So therefore the racist designation Here is my story:

Unfortunately right after Osama was killed in Pakistan, flying Lufthansa for the first time, I returned home from Iran through Dulles International with a layover in Frankfurt. I have traveled for decades and gone through security all over the globe during extra high, high and low alert levels. I have never been treated as badly by any security people as I and the rest of my fellow travels from Iran, were treated in Frankfurt. When the high level of extremely inappropriate treatment was brought to the attention of the security supervisor, the response was to threaten the person presenting the complaint. In the future, I will avoid both Lufthansa and Frankfurt airport due to a low level of incompetence combined with high levels of alert producing an unhealthy environment for travelers.
