I hardly think that that was what Nitro was suggesting. Something more along the lines of "Trust, but verify", I should think. And the pilot was quite right to check the credentials of anyone carrying a gun aboard his plane. Frankly, I think that probably had more to do with it than race. How many people of Arab or Arab-American descent are flying everyday? It's got to be hundereds at least. I don't recall hearing that they are all getting tossed off planes.

So what could he have meant by, "white guys haven't been blowing up Aircraft, Arabs have"?

Right. So when a federal agent, of all people, gets tossed off a plane, it has to set off alarm bells. He ought to be the last Arab-American to get the bum's rush.
