It's from an article he wrote for the Guradian:

Added you, Tar!

He is still getting profiled at airports, picked for "random" searches. He's very vocal about it, he's part of the duo Swet Shop Boys, they released a song called T5 last year, about this experience.

He also created a fundraiser for Syria:

I'm not sure. I first saw him in The Night Of, then Rogue One of course. And I just saw Jason Bourne a couple weeks ago. I hadn't heard about the Western he signed on to until I saw the post here. That sounds cool.

“I usually get stopped in the U.K. before I board a plane. What’s funny is that Heathrow is in a heavily South Asian neighborhood, and the kids working at the airport are fans of mine. So while they’re swabbing me for explosives, they’re asking me for selfies. While they’re going through my underwear, they’re quoting my raps back at me. It’s quite a surreal experience that speaks to the insider/outsider status I’ve felt all my life.”
