How do you profile for Muslims, anyway? Ask to see their prayer rug??
An Arab, okay, that's something identifiable (not saying it's fair, at all... you should see the shit that my Lebanese boyfriend has to go through anytime he steps on an international flight.. and me included, by association!). But even this latest plan was not done by Arabs... it was by British people of Pakistani background. I guess you could start profiling for brown people in general... until yeah, Timothy McVeigh's successor gets on board.
Working in Philly this summer, I can tell you that I saw a TON of Muslims who were not Arabs. No one would know them from John Doe when getting on a plane. I also know quite a few Arabs who are not Muslim. So yeah, not that it needs to be said around here (or does it??), but there is just no way to "profile" for anyone fairly, unless you "profile" everyone equally. For that reason, I don't care how long I have to stand in line... as long as it's fair treatment.
And I quote this for truth:
