Anyone have statistics for admittance/denials for different categories of travelers?

I keep seeing these anecdotes get lots of attention on Hacker News, and all the comments just respond with more horror story anecdotes. But I worry there might be an echo chamber effect, where people who like to comment on articles of this topic are also the people who are already accustomed to, or feel confirmation bias satisfaction at, hearing about these kinds of horror anecdotes.

It's definitely a terrible problem; I'm just wondering if Hacker News commenters are overstating the prevalence of the problem.
