Oh yeah, we have lots of fun at Western airports with ktspktsp being Lebanese. He makes sure to shave very well before flying, but he still has the look, the name, the nationality, not really the accent, the destination... hell, even me being an American citizen, just because I am arriving FROM Lebanon, I get special treatment as well. No one seems to care that he is a total atheist and wants nothing to do with Islam, Christianity, or any other religion. I have never been treated so poorly in an airport as when we flew back to the US from Beirut.
