It's not simply the racism of being targeted because I'm Brown, but the extra aggravation that goes along with it:
'Smile!'
'Have you done this before' <always followed by snide look/ laughter>

Imposed pleasantries into routine racism is gaslighting
And these past two times, when they grab me & a couple of other people, the absolute senseless of this racist pantomime - they use the same ridiculous wand and swab all over me, superficially saying, 'If we get a reading, we'll quarantine each of you.' 
One of the reasons I've been documenting this on #TravellingWhilePoC is because it isn't a minor irritation. As someone who travels often, this is a ritual where I'm constantly reminded that the colour of my skin is policed and criminalised on top of the other racism I deal with
