You're commenting on an article about how the FBI arrested someone for creating malware. If you haven't been creating malware, then I don't see how this article has anything to do with the issues you face as someone with a middle-eastern last who uses privacy tools like Tor. Hutchins wasn't targeted because of CBP's stance on things it associates with terrorism. He was targeted because the FBI believes he authored malware.
