Sigh.

Where did I say that I think everyone is nice? Where did I say that think I think my daughters would be safe in any given neighborhood?

On airliners in particular, Arabs have ALWAYS made people nervous since the 70s. Haven't had to fly anywhere since 9/11, but I have no doubt that I would be aware of every [remotely] Arabic looking person on the plane myself. The fact of the matter is that a group of young male [insert any random ethnic group here] makes certain people nervous as hell. Everything I read in the article suggests that this was exactly what took place.

What makes you think they AREN'T doing a better job of screening people on airlines today, aside from the fact that this author and her husband were worried by the conduct of a bunch of Arabs armed with, from the sounds of things, a McDonalds bag, some flutes, and 14 Syrian passports that the FBI let her see (along with, apparently, their ticket information)?

You posted a link to an piece that, IMHO, contains less factual information than a typical cut & paste by Meni. It may have been from another publication, but the original site you linked to is about as unbiased toward Arabs as "The History Of The Jewish Race" by Heinrich Himler and Joseph Gobels.

Besides ... I doubt very serioulsy the next attack will be in the air. While the government and half the people in America are studying the skies, I suspect they'll jam it up our asses.
