This kind of false equivalence only brings the quality of conversation down and also waters down the gravity of what's really happening. I just never expected anyone would go so low as to equate people being turned away at the border or worse, be detained, questioned, and a pile of other abuses, with a pigeon detained for carrying what was suspected to be a spy message. No, it's not the same everywhere. No, it's not because some countries are too dumb to be criminally abusive. And no, this is not just an inevitable outcome from "being too capable at detecting real threats". If you go so far out of your way to water down and defend the indefensible you make it close to impossible to find any charitable interpretation, instead of moral complicity or trolling.
