I hope you mean that the whole "we can't violate the constitution this time, because where will it lead" falls under the slippery slope fallacy.
I was talking to whoever brought up the bigotry, not really directed at you. In reality, much of the terrorism (if not the large majority) which threatens America originates from Muslims. Is it unreasonable to consider every Muslim a terrorist? Of course. Is it unreasonable to take extra precautions when Muslims are acting suspicious, especially at places like airports? Not at all. I feel bad for Muslims in America, I really do. They've gotten a raw deal here. However, if hurting 1000 people's feelings saves one life, sign me up.
Quick, quick, somebody look up a Ben Franklin quote about safety and liberty!
