When you check in for a flight, do they ask you what your religion is? How many nationalities do you think would have a higher potential for spawning terrorists? 50? 100?

Can you personally tell the difference between a Pakastani and a Sikh?

The burden to determine if someone's rights should be lessened should always be their behavior, not race or religion.

Freaking out over a group of Arab men on the plane may be perfectly natural after 9/11, but it's still a racist behavior that needs to be checked. Otherwise it can lead to very bad things.

I knew eventually I'd see the ACLU in you Spence. Tough subject all around. Just posting my two cents.
