I agree with this statement 100 percent. While this attack, and the loss of human life is terrible, this has been a long time coming.
To get back on topic, I understand where people are coming from when they say that they want to feel safe, and they wouldn't feel comfortable flying with someone who LOOKS (notice I stressed looks) like they are on Arabic descent. What I disagree with is the singling out of people just because they fit a physical description. I checked all of the photos of the hijackers, and let me tell you something--some of them, to me, don't look Arabic.
My point is, if we are going to scrutinize, then let's scrutinize everyone. We know that they are more in our midst, but who is to say that they are Arabic? Hell, they could be White, Black, or Latino for all we know. We didn't expect two landmarks to come crashing down and the massive loss of life, so we as a country should expect the unexpected.
