It just reflects the fear and hatred that has now been ingrained in the minds of US citizens against the Muslims and the Arabs. Thanks to Donald Trump & Co. Several years back, the name KHAN would ring bells in the minds of US nationals even in the government and security agencies simply because most people from Afghanistan and the northern areas of Pakistan have this as their surname. At the back of their minds, US agencies held a view that people with such surnames may be somehow linked to terrorism. I had pointed out this folly to a US national telling him that three top Indian film stars had KHAN attached to their names. I recall Shahrukh Khan was detained at a US airport due to the KHAN in his name.
The Americans have surely now begun to think and act weird. This action against an Emirati is ample proof of that.
