QUEER Eye star Tan France has claimed he has been subjected to extra airport security checks in America because of racial “profiling”.
The Brit fashion expert said he has been singled out, pulled from queues and given “humiliating pat downs”.
Tan, who is one of five hosts on the hit Netflix show, has Transportation Security Administration (TSA) precheck which offers quick screening for just under £70.
But Tan, who is of Pakistani descent, said he has faced extra checks three separate times while flying this week.
He tweeted: “I was just told by a TSA agent it’s because my name is on a list.
“WTF? I’m brown but that does NOT mean I’m a damn security risk!”
The TV star then posted a video to his Instagram page, saying: “I’ve just gone through security at the airport, it took me over two hours.
“And this is now the third time this week.
“What happens is when you’re checking in, they tell you that you can’t use your Precheck because there’s a security issue.
“At that point they take you out of line, and then they search you, and they give you a pat down – which is humiliating – where they check everything.
“So the reason why I wanted to post this is so I can tag TSA and hopefully they’ll see this at some point and figure out why the f**k they’re treating me like this.
“Because I know the answer. I know why I’m being profiled.
“And then they go through all your bags – and they take a good 45 minutes to go through your bag.”

TSA replied: “We’re sorry to hear this.”
They added in a statement that it screens all airline passengers ‘regardless of race, gender, or religion’.
A spokesman told The Hill: “TSA cannot comment on the security designation for specific individuals, and there are a number of reasons a passenger can be selected for additional screening, including by random designation.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
