You are not Australian and therefore have no idea how serious Biosecurity is here or what you are talking about. Agriculture is one of our largest industries. Recent cases of FMD and avian flu have resulted in the deaths of 1000s of livestock. Both of these diseases came in from overseas. One of the main problems is not always the food and other potentially contaminated materials - wood, fur, feathers, seeds etc - but their *failure to declare* that they are carrying food etc. They have lied on their incoming passenger card. Not a great start.
Plenty of white people are detained and questioned, about drugs usually, but also foodstuffs. We can't afford to be sentimental with people's home made food. Ignorance is no excuse. We cannot risk it.
They are not profiled - usually one of the sniffer dogs picks it up. Unless you're suggesting dogs are racist? Not everything is racist. Hurt feelings are a small price to pay to keep our country safe.
