Irrelevant, but irritating

my brother in law is Irish, but has the darker complexion, the mustache, thick hair, he is pulled over and searched 90% of the time he flies, because of how he looks

and if we racially profile, it isn’t that difficult, if determined enough, to dye hair, shave mustache, shave head, change appearance superficially enough to “blend” in, so profiling is mute

I can understnad the security, but i could do more damage with a stilleto or a pair of eyeglasses than my 65 year old mom could do with those dangerous tweezers
