Although I agree with the sentiment and the reasoning, I also realize
that various minorities in that situation would insist that the people
doing the searching only care and so only perform a thorough search
when the person fits a particular profile... i.e. "oh look, it beeped
on a middle-class white person... Can I see your bag... Oh it doesn't
look like you could get much in that, no I don't need to see it's
contents, thanks." ... middle-easterner "beep" - "Drop the bag and
spread-em camel-jokey!"
