Tunnel vision?

Worrying story of Mo Farah being detained by US Customs as a suspected terrorist. Perhaps not that surprising that they didn't know who he was - Americans generally have little interest in non-US sports and sportsmen - but far more worrying is that the simple fact that his name was Mohammed and he was born in Somalia was enough reason to haul him in.  Talk about stereotyping.
