From a Boston Globe article:

Not every traveler shared concerns about the airport. George Kofa, an Army veteran and Morehouse College student who was waiting for a flight home to Atlanta at Logan on Sunday, said he believes reports of racial profiling are blown out of proportion.

“People overexaggerate it,” said Kofa, 32, who is black. He said his first experience with Logan Airport went smoothly, without any extra screening.

A native of Liberia, Kofa said he has come to expect tighter security since 9/11. He is a frequent flier, both nationally and internationally, and said it is not uncommon for him to be chosen for additional screening.

But, he said, he doesn’t mind.
The training is working . Baa baa, little sheep.

Also, all investigations into the profiling allegations are being conducted by TSA, so it's sure to be exposed The rest of the article is worthy of a read.
