That's all true, Lola. However, if they want to search someone's Turbin, they have the right (maybe even the duty) to do so. Just as they should and do search pocketbooks, briefcases, carry on luggage. The passenger can refuse, but if he does, they have the right (maybe even the duty) to not allow them on the plane. Just because someone wears a Turbin doesn't mean that a weapon can't be hidden in it.
I agree that the request should be made with decency, but all that is required to be decent is to simply say, "Please remove your Turbin, so that we may inspect it". Nothing more should be said. No discussion, no argument. Then the choice is up to the passenger.

It should have nothing to do with profiling, and everything to do with safety.
