Assuming it is race, do you really think the whole TSA does? Wouldn't it have to be codified in order for them to do so? I think it would probably be more likely a few racist employees he unfortunately has to deal with.

Where is your evidence? I think the null hypotheses, i.e. we don't know, is more probable then what a appears to be an unsubstantiated conclusion that you wrote.

Protests are also the only thing people can do together and not likely to get arrested/fined. I wonder how many people care about the issues vs those that are out there just to have something to do?
