"Arab Americans will not/cannot go through a Political Litmiss Test to prove we are loyal to America."(speaker)

Upset over security at Air Ports towards Arab Americans. They don't like to shakedown all other passengers are receiving, they seem to think it is only them this is happening to, I guess. They have the ACLU on their side to file law-suits.

If they are citizens of this country, then all procedural rights should apply.

If not, then tough noogies.

Profiling on the highways: Inapporpriate behavior by officers. Hot line for victims of Hate Crimes.

Answering questions on issues now! Shocking and depressing.

When will the Courts step in and stop to it? Stand up to Ashcroft?

Three flights (90 minutes each max.)
Five, count 'em five, body searches.

Mutant screener demanding an apology for screenee's attitude during Number five.

Victim, as with all others being screened at that time, is white, all were either oldish or pre-teen, and all apparently preselected by airline.

Of course I was also travelling with six other people, on government contract business, tickets bought by employer, and all dressed near identically; screener said I 'fit the profile".

Next time I pull my travel togs out of the hamper and wear a rag on my head, maybe I'll get through hassle free.
