Just to clarify. I was with a group of Argentinians and other Chilean. None
of the Argentinians had problems at all (just the usual hard security
controls). I had problems all the time, I guess because of my potential Arab
name (and look? who knows). Dennis had problems with his PC but I don't
think it was targeted because of being Chilean and/or Latin American. I
don't know the experience of the Bolivian guy or the Brazilians, but I don't
think they had great problems.

The problem is that if you look like Arab or Muslim some way you will have
problems for sure. And that's discrimination anyway.
