If you're flying in Africa and a black man wanted on it wouldn't be an issue it isn't out of place. If an arab wants to get on your plane, while obviously completely ok, it is slightly out of place. It's racial profiling while it might not be politically correct it has pulled through time and time again. I seem to remember them finding two plastic bags of plutonium(or something similar) strapped to the chest of an arab not too long ago. Stereotypes exist for a reason. I flew to Kenya and on the way out I was pulled aside and told to my face that I didn't look like I belonged. They searched me and went through my things and asked some questions then let me on my way. I could care less. Actually I was glad to hear everyone is doing it.
When a race of people has openly admitted to wanting the US to fall it's only natural to watch them more closely.
