AMJAD ALI FLAYS RACIAL PROFILING AT AIRPORTS NEW YORK: Sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan, once detained and frisked at a US airport in what he believes was "racial profiling", has asked authorities to take steps like on the spot background check to avoid humiliation of visitors. "If they talk to a visitor looking into their eyes, these trained officers can find out if he or she is a terrorist. This would solve half of the problems but these officers talk to you looking at the computer monitors or go by the last names perfunctorily," Khan lamented. Khan, 67, was detained and frisked at the Philadelphia
airport last year when he was about to board an aircraft to San Francisco as a visiting fellow of Stanford University in California. He said it seems American officials do not know what to do when they see a Muslim name pop up on their computer at the airport. "I had the same issue with immigration officials in the past on arrival thanks to my last name Khan. This is nothing but racial profiling. I am not carrying a suicide bomb or a security threat to any country," he said. Details on page 5
