The equivalent of "reverse discrimination" with regard to racial profiling. Instead of doing the right thing, which in this case would be to abolish the pseudo-science BDO program, they simply decide to target extra white people to get their ratios to look better. Casually dressed travelers are likely perceived as more cooperative and less likely to file complaints, yet another form of assumption-based profiling.

Anyone who believed this program would not lead to forms of profiling considered inappropriate in the US, particularly race and apparent ethnicity, was in complete denial of human nature. The profilers are inevitably going to use all of the information available to them, even if they are not supposed to, and draw conclusions both correct and incorrect based on their common experiences and beliefs.
