And when a string of white Americans go suicide bombing the ME, I'd hope they'd take the same precautionary measures over there that we do here.

I would gladly.
Being Arab, dark skinned, or whatever is never a reason to search someone. That is not enough to search anyone, that is like pulling a young black person over who is driving a BMW because a young black man may not be as likely to be able to afford said car. (I am not saying this is true, but some believed things like this) My skin color is never enough reason to be searched beyond the extent that everyone else is. That is the problem that people are not getting here.
