hmmm...
I wonder how people, namely those who are in favor of racial profiling in this particular case, would feel if they had ejected those people, which they did, went on with the flight, everyone feels safe and secure because those suspicious-looking Arabs were removed from the flight, and someone who was white, black, Asian, or any number of other races or ethnicities got up and hijacked the plane and caused another massive catastrophy.. All of the peopl eon the flight will be dead and the innocent people who happened to cause fear because of how they look would be shaking their head in pity. Racial profiling, regardless of the circumstances does not solve anything. We need to focus on equal security measures and precautions that apply to EVERYONEso that we are all safe from horrendous acts like this being committed again. What we really need to remember here is that we are stil constantly unfolding details of this situaltion and all who were involved...many of whom ARE NOT ARABIC!! We have no way of knowing or being able to guess who may be the next hijacker, bomber, or what have you. If we aren't careful, we all will turn into what we have protested against and faught against since what seems like the beginning of time.
