In most casts that results in discriminatory civil suits. Imagine a restaurant, who has even greater leverage to test the for whatever reason mentality, asking a black family to leave without stating a reason. In most places in the US restaurants have the legal right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

This is a wholly invalid comparison. Ethnicity is a protected class of citizen and is illegal to refuse service based on it.

Federal agencies are not protected classes of citizens. In fact it is quite literally illegal to force a company to do business with the government if it doesn't want to.

OP should have said "for whatever lawful reason"

Race is a protected class, occupation is not.

[austincheney]

The reason is only lawful if you can prove that discrimination is not solely due to that protected class. In the case where a group can refuse service for any reason and is not required to provide that reason this is impossible to prove even if clearly obvious.
