I was just reading thru this thread again and I'm confused about a couple things. First, why does it matter if you are a doctor? Doctors put their pants on the same way everyone else does. And just because you showed them a UK passport does not automatically mean you get a free pass on to the airplane. As far as they know, it could be fake, or expired, or you could be a wanted fugitive trying to get out of the country. The only people that get different treatment (that I know of) going thru security (at least in the U.S.) are military personnel on active duty/deployment orders. And the "special treatment" they receive really isn't all that special. Second, you say it's not Lufthansa's fault, then you say it is their responsibility in a later post. Which do you believe? The security employees were only doing their job. Most of the time the way they pick who they question is by stopping every 7th person, or 9th, or 18th, they just pick a random number. I have been stopped in many many airports in many many different countries for "extra" questioning and I am a white middle aged male. So the issue you have is definitely not isolated to Germany, definitely not isolated by race, religion, or nationality, and definitely has nothing to do with ANY particular airline.
