Gendered surveillance watches women for cultural transgression and men for terror.

Evidence

The majority of the Muslim men I interviewed told me they were on some list at airports. The Muslim women I interviewed told me they were not on a TSA list like Muslim men, indicating that the state targets mostly men for surveillance through these terrorist databases. However, Muslim women who wear the hijab were subjected to profiling by TSA agents. The women I spoke to told me they were repeatedly stopped and had their bodies and personal belongings searched at the airport security line by TSA agents. — , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_…, 70 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
