Hairstylist Isis Brantley of Dallas said she can’t believe she was chased down this week at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport so that her afro-styled hair could be checked for weapons.

The 53-year-old woman told KXAS-TV in Texas that she was halfway to her gate to catch an American Airlines flight to Dallas when she started hearing shouts. “‘Hey you! Hey you! Ma’am! Ma’am! Stop! Stop! The lady with the hair! You!” Brantley told the station. When the Transportation Security Administration agent caught up with Brantley, she was told she would miss her flight if she didn’t allow her hair to be searched.Brantley said she was in tears as the agent started “digging” through her hair to check for weapons.
