I know that. The poster who made the comment to which I responded says he/she is Indian American. I didn't know that because I didn't check the poster's homepage until after I responded. However unfortunate, yes, Indian Americans may also be more subject to profiling. That being said, my heritage is Irish & English, and whereas I might not be profiled on the basis of my ethnicity, I seem to have made "the list" at the airport. I haven't been able to fly once without extra baggage checks since 9/11. It's a real pain in the behind. Even so, I certainly pay attention to the ethnicity of my fellow travelers and I hope airport security is doing the same. That's just common sense.
