Let's say it's 1,000x more than your 3.

3,000 out of 66,500,000 visitors per year means you have a 0.004% chance of having this happen to you. You have significantly more chances of dying on your way to work in whatever country you are at.

Math is off. Total number of people detained in 2023 was 270k out of 66million annual visitors. 0.4% chance. Chances of dying in a plane crash are roughly 1 in million (Google tells me so, not sure of the source). The ones I listed are the publicized ones but the story is the same.
