Then in the end he simply said, sorry you looked suspicious and we had to check you out..


Now multiply this happening by 10-15 times across your life because you were profiled. I'm sure you would remain completely ok with it the next 16th time it happened..
Since my early youth I was told:" do not argue" with:

1) policeman
2) taxman
3) customs agent

As aruguing with any of them is a "loose loose" situation.

This advice served me well for about 50 years...
