Thanks for the information. I had not seen that poll yet.

Do you think there is a chance that MORE people will speak up?

I'm not particularly concerned about it. People are getting used to seeing CAIR complaining about discrimination and racial profiling and I believe most Americans would like to see more, not less profiling. Wouldnt be surprised they see a group of arabs and mentally tune out. Besides I think most people have tuned it out this weekend anyway. They are not news junkies like us.

The CNN poll (80% saying police did not over react in FL) suggests that most Americans are willing to make an occasional mistake to avoid another terrorist attack. And if someone has to be inconvenienced for a few hours, well thats better than another 3000 dead. I think other than people who wanted to travel on I-75 Friday and couldnt, I think most Americans felt it was worthwhile to stop these guys and not take any chances.
