As a person with a low BS tolerance flying is becoming very difficult for me.

I'm glad to see it's just not me.

I don't know how many times I've seen 65 year old blacks and whites searched at the gate while the middle eastern looking guy just gets on the plane. When I ask about it, I'm told, "thank you sir, just wait in line sir" or "thank you sir" - with a grimace.

Let's not profile for terrorists or criminals, it might make sense.

Eggsactly! Whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics are searched while Mid Eastern looking males pass on through! If you look American you are a target.
