Hayes's eyes scanned the crowd and locked onto Valerie. His prejudiced mind immediately began connecting dots that didn't exist: he saw a Black woman in a hoodie traveling alone, keeping her head down. To him, she didn't look like an executive or a frequent flyer; she looked out of place in the expedited screening lane. She looked like someone who needed to be reminded of her place.Pushing off the pillar, Hayes adjusted his heavy duty belt and swaggered toward the checkpoint, cutting directly through the line of passengers."Hold it," Hayes barked, stepping directly into Valerie's path just as she reached for her plastic bins on the conveyor belt.Valerie paused, her hand hovering over the handle of her duffel bag. She looked up, her expression a mask of polite neutrality. "Excuse me, Officer. Is there a problem?""Step out of the line," Hayes commanded, his voice loud enough to draw the attention of the surrounding passengers. He didn't ask; he ordered, puffing out his chest.
