Seems to me that if we're worried about another muslim attack on America, interviewing muslims would be a good idea. A better idea would be to stop bringing in more muslims and to ask the foreign ones here to leave.

If they were really concerned in Arizona, they'd be interviewing the hundreds of Muslims pouring into our country across the Mexican border.

FBI BS - I read this as SPECIFIC information; specifically border crossings; middle east terrorists; centered on AZ; informant.
