Now, there is a point which I haven't seen mentioned in this thread and I would like to make it.
The only groups which heartily believe in suicidal terrorism are Muslim fundamentalist movements. If you're going to screen for bombs in luggage, screen it all. But among people getting on the plane who are willing to crash/destroy the plane with them on it, only Islamic terrorists are willing to do so. It seems to make sense, therefore, that if you are trying to keep people from getting on the plane who could be planning to blow it up, looking primarily at Muslims will result in far better security than avoiding looking at Muslims for fear of lawsuits.
Granted, we shouldn't focus solely on those who look Muslim, but watching them a little more carefully seems fine to me.
