Not the first time SW accused a mixed-race family of child trafficking. Who the hell are they hiring?

I've heard airlines and security personnel are trained to watch for human trafficking as it happens more than anyone wants to acknowledge. You won't hear about all the correct identifications; just the false positives as it strikes outrage.
