Soooo... I take it you're against racial profiling at the airport?
What about direct flights from Tehran? That could bring a lot of business to our airports and maybe even give us an entirely new trading partner who could use our ports.
The largest banking center and most westernized country in the MidEast who has been extremely helpful, more so that most European countries in opening their records to track terrorists versus one of the countries harboring and encouraging al Queda in Iraq.
I'm not against racial profiling at airports...at all. However, I am against painting anyone with darker skin as an immediate terrorist. Moreover, I am deeply offended that EVERYONE is hopping on the bandwagon that says this is bad for US Security when it is so far from the reality of the situation.
Britain, and our own United States did little to stop terrorists before 2001. We allowed them to live, operate and plan in our country. Yet, we regard the UAE differently only because of their location and their looks.
