 You might be interested to know that the Governor General of Australia was recently required to go back and complete security screening as well.  Not even the highest figure in the land is exempt from these security checks.  It is not targeting any foreign dignitaries when Australia requires the same of its own leaders :)

In fact the only people exempt from these security checks in Australia are the Queen and the Pope!!

So please don't jump onto the racism bandwagon unnecessarily.

 The GG of Australia went on a private trip when the incident occurred. It was not an official trip. Sir Micheal was on an official diplomatic trip and was the head of a sovereign state that time. I am sure there may be a separate protocol for that arrangement than for the general public.
