Painful...oh so painful.

But that doesn't even make sense. You're just being foolish if you think the next airplane bomber is going to be garishly playing the "Check me out, I'm a devout muslim" card.
That would be idiotic. Chances are, if a passenger is "muslim in appearance" that person will have already received 5 times as much scrutiny as you or I would ever receive at an airport.
I don't think you're a bigot. You're just someone who's been goaded by fear into embracing irrational suspicions of his fellow countrymen. It's pretty standard stuff, though if you'd like you can write me off as a liberal so you don't have to think about what I wrote.
