No, mrmohanad, it's not Middle Easterners in general that are frisked at Heathrow. It is EVERYONE who does not take off their jewelry when asked. It is ANYONE who says "no" to removing their jacket or belt or bracelet. The security people at Heathrow are then REQUIRED to manually frisk them. I know this because I'm occasionally cantankerous and have refused to remove such items. And I'm a blonde American. I make my choices and I take my lumps. You know, if people would stop assuming discrimination they might find out how the world REALLY works. Then maybe we could all work on those cases of REAL racism.
