Yep. I’ve been travelling with my Muslim friend through the USA. We booked seperately. Our passports are different countries (his is uk, but Muslim name). He was randomly searched at every airport. I never was. It was pretty shocking how blatantly racist the us security apparatus was, first hand. At this point I was only 20 and had no concept of the kind of shit USA police do.
