Dubai man held at US Airport

Hey heres something I have never heard before. A Dubai man was held at Atlanta International for six hours because he was flying in from Dubai. My favorite part of this article is the quote from the TSA at the end:

PS I used to speak with the TSA on a weekly basis when I worked for the Department of Transportation. They are the most difficult people to deal with. They want information from you on the spot but when you try to get any answers from them they will deflect your questions and pass you around on the phone until someone "accidentally" hangs up on you.
"TSA does not conduct ethnic or religious profiling, and employs multiple checks and balances to ensure profiling does not happen."Isn't that the biggest joke you have ever heard. If my wife and I can be stopped for flying to Egypt (and we are American) because her last name is Arab then its no surprise someone from an Arab country would be detained without cause.
