At least this mom at DXB was detained with her young daughter.

DXB passport control seems to be no worse than US passport control. The CBP, like some of its DXB equivalents, can be very hostile to being filmed by passengers.

But she isn't from the United States. And it didn't happen in the United States. And I never mentioned the United States. I mentioned a civilized democracy.

So, I am still completely confused why people keep responding about what would happen in the United States. How is that valid to my point?

It is a federation of monarchies that uses a legal system based upon Islamic law.

If it quacks like a duck.....
