Jason-GParticipantI see and understand your point. ALL of the recent attacks in America and abroad can ALL be blamed on one type of people. I myself would be nervous if I saw a couple of Middle-Eastern people get on my plane. I think the problem is a personal one here. Nobody likes having the finger pointed at them, even in situations where it is obvious where the blame lays. It is also unfortunate that a few bad apples spoil the barrel. I’m sure if the profile was middle-aged white woman you would have a problem being checked everywhere you went. The whole terrorism issue and its subsequent effects on daily life is a long and slippery road. I think it’s hard for authorities to 1. Keep everybody safe and 2. Not offend anybody. On our side of the fence (meaning whites) I think we should be aware of how the profiling makes others feel, and that those who fit the profile (black or Middle-Eastern people) should understand that at the moment it might just be a necessary evil.
