Great quote, and unfortnately this type of writing is up to intereptation. I interupt it this way. Am I secure in my own country if the possibility of another 9/11 or terrorist attack? The answer is simply no. Is it unreasonable in today's society for people (note people) who meet a certain criteria to be searched? Again, No.

I agree, however, manpower, money, and time are the simple answers. People do not want inconvienced.

I think therein lies the problem Goonz. I am samrt enough to know that not every Arabic male is not a terrorist. And it is an unfortnate that someone such as yourself who most likely is a true loving Muslim has been caught up in something like this within this country. However, it highlights a problem I believe exists in the Muslim / Arabic community. We (the United States or the pro-profiling crowd) get 'blamed' for such things, when indeed, your community needs to rise up and squash, or at least help, in qualming the radical Islam that gives all of you other good Muslims a bad name.
I for one, am fully aware that the radicals are far out numbered by the good, and believe I understand better than most, the culture from which you live and have been raised in. I did live in a moderate Muslim country for almost 8 months...
