I still dont understand the reason behind the weird treatment for OP in the dont fly in Ramadan post.

He tested positive for explosives residue, he was brown, it was Ramadan and he was flying in the US. It’s not okay, but that’s the reason.

Why did he avoid the MMwave scanner? Is there anything privacy invasive about it?
