We've had pax profiling for onger than most realise. I was in the check-in queue (line?) for a PA fight to Frankfurt-Athens just after the Lockerbie downing and was interrogated by security staff due to having a Saudi resident's visa (in a British passport). When I explained that I
lived there they asked about the UAE and Bahrain visas, - "hey guys - that's where we go for
holidays!"
As I had with me 3 mini-terrorists with British Visior's Passports (issued to Brits as temporary short-term passports) aged between 8 and 13, now I guess I can understand this - they must have "profiled" my kids
