A mystery

Just off the plane and my ears all clogged up from the landing, I was a bit disoriented when I approached the customs guy. He asked me the usual questions about why I was traveling, and then he said "Kaufman. Your father is an engineer."

Though he's been a computer programmer since the early 1970s, my father trained as a chemical engineer. How did the officer know? I asked him, but he just grinned and sent me on my way.
