I think he understands he has nothing to hide and just sucks it up and doesnt go running for the ACLU to make a big stink. Deep down he might get pissed, but i'm sure he realizes its for the over all saftey of the airliners.

Heck i'm a 26 year old white guy and i've gotten pulled aside a few times. They even sent me through that machine that blows all that damn air on you! But i dont care, it takes all of a 2 minutes and its done. But maybe next time all call the ACLU and make a big fuss
