I don't have an arab complexion, but TSA has never been that much of a hassle for me. Is it really that bad for you? I just have to take my belt and shoes off and take my laptop out. There are lines, but it usually doesn't take me more than 20 minutes to get through.

I guess you got lucky by travelling domestic only in the US. 3 Hour lines at Heathrow passport control are not uncommon. US border agents can and will deny entry for to foreigners for any or no reason. Had a rifle raised and pointed at me while bag was searched in Sri Lanka.

And no liquids, and repeat this hassle at 50% of the airports you stopover (depending on how lazy they were when designing the “safe” zones and terminals)
