I used to live in the UAE, and had to travel often to Saudi Arabia. The first time I did so, colleagues told me to wear a suit on the plane. I found out why when we landed at Riyadh. Guards separated incoming passengers into fast-moving queues for all whites and others in suits; the rest were corralled into queues of a hundred or more. So, Salil. your fears have long been true.
