Racial profiling

When I was on the gangway getting onto my plane in Miami to come down to Guatemala, there were some immigrations officers (as well as a cop with a drug-sniffing dog, all with big guns) who were pulling people out of line. They grabbed the guy ahead of me and pulled him aside. When I looked at the line of people that they had accumulated, they were all Hispanic. That was the first time I'd seen racial profiling in action, and it made me really uncomfortable. (Not sure what the immigration guys were looking for, as this was a plane back to Guatemala.) I wasn't terribly proud to be an American at that moment...
