Accusing someone with my beliefs as prejudice is wrong, so don't assume so. Airport officials aren't prejudice either, in fact they'd sacrifice their job if they were. They are hired to keep people safe. I think it's safe to say we've all noticed a pattern in the characteristics in those that have threatened to or have actually taken action to harm our citizens whether we're prejudice or not. Though some may find profiling accusatory and unjust, I think that we sometimes fail to consider the facts. For starters, profiling isn't only done by race, it could be done by where they're from in the world, where they're flying to and from. Secondly, there's no harm in keeping an eye on someone, especially if they are a suspicious person, but there could be harm done if they don't. If an official pulled you to the side and questioned you, I'll admit you might be slightly offended and surely caught off guard, but if you weren't there and had nothing to hide, I doubt you'd have a real problem with it; Nobody else should either. Again, there's a pattern to be seen, and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
