Okay. I get it. My situation would harm someone and it is a UN human rights violation and I'd deserve to be tried at world court

Say you're race has been responsible for a string of terrorist attacks and your at an airport (great time to think of another hypothetical situation) and you get profiled for extra screening, so they take you in a room and go through your bag.

You might feel embarrassed about someone going through your stuff, you might feel offended about being picked based on profiling and you might be a little pissed that your time is being wasted but that, to me, doesn't seem like much of a burden on you if this system is proven to be more effective then random spot checks.

Is that better? Thats what I meant by "not harming you"
