That's what they all say. That's not how it works out.

Just because racism exists doesn't make racism right. And good law enforcement is different than good security screening. The core purposes are not the same.

Immigration screening is not security screening for they have different core purposes. And just because one individual understands "why" something happened to them, doesn't mean it's as acceptable for other individuals. That is, it may be ok to volunteer yourself for additional screening (including racist profiling), but it's not ok to volunteer others for the same against their wishes.
