Oh, and as a metaphor I think it is more akin to border control than a bouncer at a club.
If you turn up looking like you have a contagious disease, or if you appear to be carrying a bomb... then you're going to be put through the grinder.
In your case, it is more like getting off a plane from somewhere like Syria and being asked a few extra questions about the purpose of your stay before you can go and collect your baggage. You might be peeved that others who arrived from Ireland aren't being asked questions, and you may not have realised that you had actually flown by a place currently treated as suspect... but there you go.
You're not against border controls are you?
