If you were a screener, and if you have a choice of searching this guy, an 80-year old GrandMother or a middle aged business traveler, which one should you search?
US Answer: the GrandMother, of course, because instead of looking for suspicious passengers they use random selection, and she was the one who came up for random search.
He looks more like an Abdul than a Don Stewart.

Goes to prove that racial profiling is not going to work.
They will find a way around it and recruit non-arabs into the death cult. California has produced two so far afterall.
Well, the photo of the detainee just doesn't look that Caucasian to me. He, himself, probably thought so too. He probably thought that he looked more like THEM than US. THEY probably thought so too.
Having said this and having spent years in Saudi Arabia myself as an imported worker I can tell you that there are many many Saudis whose skin tone and color is indistinguishable from, say, Bill Clinton. So, keying on skin color by itself is a fatal flaw. So is ID documentation. More factors such as biometrics would have to be brought to bear.
