A short queue at security check in Delhi airport is a traveller’s delight. Because Terminal 1D lives up to its name-slow moving queue is an incurable illness.
There were 3 ladies standing before Sweet daughter & Me. Only to be told to remove boots- my 8 year old gave her boots to me and I removed mine- tip toeing on the cold airport floor because by some magic 18degrees always feels like 8 degrees to me.
Waiting again at security check for my number after putting our boots in for a scan, I couldn’t stop but wonder why such few security check counter for women?
Average ratio of security check counter is 1 counter for women, for every 2 counters for men.While our sex ratio is 940 females per thousand males.
Does our government believe that less women travel, less women work, empowerment is an urban legend & we have a skewed up sex ratio?
As I saw the boots pass thru X-ray scan faster than my number in this “oh-so-long queue” I wondered if they found any hidden candies in sweet daughter’s boots? After all it was the day after Christmas and perhaps Santa filled our boots too.Next Christmas gift us more gender equality .
