I believe it is racial discrimination but at the same time it is being done to protect others. i am a muslim male (of african-american)...I do not get scrutinized by the TSA unless they view my plane ticket and see my name. It is bothersome but at the same time i know they are doing their job and that they've been told to look more towards Arabs than 'white boys' (as it was so politely put in the thread above).
If we are going to make a list about events where people of a specific race/religion killed mass amounts of people then we should continue on with that list.

*some call them freedom fighters or fore fathers and others call them terrorist...*
Just showing you that not every evil act of terrorism is from those of Arab decent or from Islamic faith... every race/culture is not perfect and everyone should be screened and viewed the same when boarding flights/trains/buses or whatever.
Hell, i have to go through a metal detector at the movie theater by my house in new york. As a muslim I am upset to see innocent muslims being killed overseas "by accident" and I am also upset to see these extremists take their own spin on our religion and use it to cause harm to others. In the end, nobody wins and the cycle of violence continues until either non-extremist muslims step up and try to pull the extremist's coattails and tell them that killing men,women,children is not how you spread the message of islam.
