..."The experience was frustrating, Aber said, but he did not accuse the border guards of racial profiling..."

I have a friend born in Canada to Egyptian parents and an Egyptian last name. He has crossed into American 34 times in the past 7 years and been pulled over for a "random" search 34 times.

I've been to the U.S 29 times in a little longer period and have never been asked questions or had my bags searched.

I'm pretty sure there is racial profiling.
