See... funny thing is that this particular aspect of US Policy is of more than passing interest to Canadians... because this may come as a shock, but on occasion we do sometimes travel south... and it's not fun to be turned back at the border for no decernable reason other than someone whom you are travelling with (say for the sake of arguement a Fraternity brother) may be a practisoner of the Muslim faith.
Now this may come as a shock but travellers from other countries seeking to enter the US may be slightly concerned about the profiling policies of the US; as it might, just might, have an impact on their travel plans.
So you can see who some may be concerned about yet another asine example of profiling by the Homeland Gestapo... which has been thrust back into the spot-light because of the recent US Government's statments regarding the Arar case up here in Canada - you know the Canadian citizen that was deported by the US, to Syria where he was tortured...
