Actually, my bet is that he's an American-born child of Indian parents (guessing from his name). My boyfriend is from India, lived in Bombay during the riots of '92-'93 (and actually got hit by a stray bullet), and he doesn't mind one bit when he gets searched before getting on city transit. Most people from India are very aware of the effects of Islamic terrorism, and many feel they are being helpful when they allow themselves to be searched (and therefore eliminated as a threat).

BTW, this is my very first FR post! I've been lurking for about two years, but just signed up for an account today.

If that's true, they must be devastated that he has got involved with the communist-run Immigrant Defense Project.

Welcome!

I work with an Iranian refugee who feels the same way. He is one of our delivery drivers, and every time he takes a load out to Fort Knox he makes a point of insisting that they at least give the truck a quick, but thorough, search. If any of the guards try to point out his familiarity, Paul informs them that most bombers scout their targets moltiple times and try to become familiar to any security personnel.
