Go live there, and gain some actual real life perspective. It's hard to make an informed opinion of what is going on in Europe/Germany when you live in Cleveland.
The german article says he was asked where he was flying, but he did not want to answer. at the body search the metal detector did give signal but he was protesting against the manual body search. arrogant prick

German airports are awful handsy, and not in a good way. Frankfurt Airport is one that loves to touch at security. I could see this easily escalating from a groping that they do to everyone to "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" and then spiraling out of control.
Awful that Mo Farah had to experience that. Let's just say that I know first hand how he feels. I nowadays fork out extra just to avoid that airport and country in general. Awful people. Never again!
Surprise surprise, el keniano calls a european nation "awful people". The guy coming from a nation where they riot and kill each other during elections.

We'd be better off if everybody would respond like Mo to the moronic security procedures that are implemented by the unintelligent and unskilled.
it was at munich airport terminal 2 and not frankfurt
the officer is not a security staff member but a police officer of the federal police
sir farah could not agree to the standard routine search by the subcontracted security company and appeared agitated and so the federal police officer was called to assist
he tried to calm sir farah and explain the routine check and sir mo farah seemed to become more agitated and refusing to leave the checkpoint as he was asked to move on as he blocked it
once he started filming in the security area which is forbidden in this area he was asked to stop it which he also refused
by then he was held by his arm and told to proceed to his gate
not a perfect translation, but so the official statement of the federal police

When a white guy gets interrogated by security screeners it's called normal procedure. For anyone else it's racial/gender/religious harassment.

The thing with any non white person is that whenever anyone is a bit off with the,m, they always claim it's down to "racism" even when absolutely NOTHING has been mentioned about race.
He's probably used to being waved though security as he's non white, and has got used to this special treatment that ALL Muslims get in many European airports.
Fly in the uk and you won't have to remove any head gear or outer clothes to go through security if you're Muslim, yet if you are an 80 year old white woman you'll be very seriously sexually molested at security.
The staff don't need the hassle. They KNOW if they ask a Muslim to take off some clothes or head gear they will get hysterical, and no way is any Muslim woman going to allow a search.
So they wave the Muslims though and focus on the elderly white people that they know will submit to having their breasts fondled and hands inside their pants.
Germany is one country that DOES tend to actually search the occasional Muslim, and you only have to read the reviews from Muslims on these airports to see how angry they are at being searched.
They write furious reviews saying they got searched and accuse the airport of racism.
Mo has got too used to this privilege, and expects as a Muslim to be allowed to do what he likes.
If anyone is rude to him it MUST therefore be a "hate crime" and "racism" in his mind.
Stupid moronic man
You've got issues.
I certainly hope you're locked up in a cage, and not let loose out in public.
Any person of color, certainly anyone who travels regularly in Europe, will not be even slightly surprised by this harassment.
Mohammed didn't like being asked where he was flying to, a very common question during the course of airline travel. Mohammed doesn't like questions pertaining to his whereabouts. Nothing surprising here.

Better to riot amongst ourselves over elections (never once bothering refugees or other foreigners) than to devolve into a nation of regressive, hateful xenophobes. Your allegedly civilised continent is turning back the clock to the good, old 1930s.

I have white color and got questioned in miami as well. In fact its standard procedure. only racists themselves see it as a racist measure all the time. If you dont want to tell your destination to a federal officer, they should put you into prison. Mo got off lightly here. Most likely he does not want any doping controller know about his training location. there is no other explanation for his over the top reaction

One of the advantages of being the most common race in a society is you don't question why you're being stopped. You know it's not for racial reasons.
One of the concepts of "white privilege" is you get to go through life not questioning whether someone is doing something to you because of your race. Forget actual racism, but not having to wonder whether something is racist is a luxury Farah doesn't have. Farah operates in a different world because of his race and religion. Philosophically maybe we shouldn't care why someone treats us poorly and just focus on being treated poorly but that's not the real world.
I think a lot of the white posters on this thread are like "no big deal" and I understand the sentiment from what I saw on the vdieo (didn't seem like the officer was doing anything crazy) but Farah is coming from a different place.
Take Rojo for example. His name is about as common as it comes "Robert Johnson" but he used to be on a no-fly list and get interrogated every time he flew. Just some BS procedural thing. Pissed him off but he didn't tie it to race. Now if he was Muslim or a minority, he might think differently and it might piss him off more.
From what I can tell on the video and the police explanation it sounds perfectly reasonable to me but I wasn't there. I flew this weekend and I couldn't believe how nonchalantly they really pat your junk with the back of their hand if you get screened for patdown in TSA precheck. If I was a famous guy of colo like Mo Farah, I might wonder why they did it to me even though I think it's random.

Mo would be so much better off Kenya, where the native population is GENETICALLY INCAPABLE of discrimination against foreigners.
Tough s#it, Mo. Deal with it. Not everything is about you and for you. Folks are doing their jobs. Sometimes you may not love how they do it. Some things may not be perfect. Too bad. Move along, have some patience. Be an adult and not a little bi#ch.
I notice you don't do any videos complaining about murder, corruption, poverty and war lord behavior in Somalia or Ethiopia......"in this day and age".

Close to spot on translation. Thanks for taking the time to post that, and out an end to all the BS. To be clear:
1) Mo refused to answer where he was going
2) Mo refused search
3) Mo escalated the situation by becoming agitated
4) Mo refused to leave the security area, blocking up the line
5) Mo began filming in the security area- which is forbidden- and refused to stop when asked
I would say that he's lucky that all he received was a tug on the arm.

Lol why was Rojo on a no-fly list?
for many years mo has been getting special treatment by everyone around him in the running world now the 1 time in the real world when he is treated like everyone else he has a meltdown. poor poor baby
This makes me think of the Movie Were the Millers, “Full Cavity Search”
They probably looked at him and saw his name put two and two together and realized he is Somalian. Then said “Hey didn’t SEAL Team 6 take care of you and your buddies in that movie Captain Phillips”.
In reality dude you’re originally from Mogadishu, Somalia and you are getting on an Airplane not expecting to be bothered to some extent with a certain level of harassment is like an American walking through Riyadh, Saudi Arabia expecting to get complemented for a wonderful American accent while at the same time brown bagging it. Mo all I can say is dude your people made the bed for you and unfortunately even though you live in Britain you’re going to sleep in that bed one way or another and sadly very few people follow distance running which means none knows who the heck you are all they see is some skinny dude that they assume has an eating disorder.

Wejo, I'm genuinely impressed for the amount of wokeness you show in this post. I'm not even kidding.
