Nah, the government is actually more scrutinized. In addition to title 7 that applies to all employers, government agencies must also abide by the 14th amendment. That's just legal scrutinty though. They're also obv more politically scrutinized and that includes 24/7 constant news footage whenever they fuck up.
But the reason people only have issues with government profiling is because that's the only profiling they're aware of. Go walk down the street and ask someone what profiling means, and most (if not all) will tell you it's police stuff
