No, Tiberius, he was clearly making a joke, even though I never read that quote you just digged up. He has talked about how we shouldn't profile celebrities as an example of bad use of resources. Ayaan is being hunted by religious maniacs and has to take great security measures to just stay alive. This is why the joke is so on point with her.
In that same blog post you initially linked to... He talked about how 3 year Olds and very old people are/were made to take off their shoes. You should really read it a second time, especially the addendum where he addresses precisely the sort of critique you're directing at him right now.
Would I be correct in assuming you first heard of these talking points from a third party before familiarizing yourself with the author's writings ?
