Spouses are surveilled together even though gender shapes typical airport surveillance types

Evidence

Just like state surveillance, Muslim surveillance by private citizens is gendered. Muslim women and Muslim men are subjected to surveillance for different reasons. Muslim American women who wear the hijab have their nationalities contested in very public ways, while Muslim American men are questioned through interactions with private citizens at work, school, or social gatherings when their identity as Muslim is made known. Women who wear the hijab are targets for public contestation because of the visibility of their religious identity. They have their cultural values questioned because of their choice to cover their hair. Their fellow citizens consider actions like wearing the hijab a foreign cultural threat to Western values. Muslim men are pigeonholed as potential terrorists once their religious identity is known. — , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_…, 347 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
