...and if you believe that the only people who should be set aside for interviews are the ones w/ skull caps, long robes and scarves...

No, I do not. And, as a matter of fact, it's not what is happening. The media is full of stories about WASP old ladies bodysearched etc. I am not sure what determined the security officers every time, so wouldn't wax about that. (My own wife, who definitely isn't an old lady and doesn't wear burqah, once forgot a Swiss army knife in her purse, and took all the airport consequenses without whining).

But the Muslims ARE the biggest group among the terrorists, zimdog's spin notwithstanding, so they shouldn't be whining also.

My concern is that many on FR would like to take to the opposite extreme where only "Muslim looking people" (whatever that would mean to the TSA) would get searched. I just want some balance, that's all.

Raising examples to show that many of the world's most feared terrorists are not Muslims is very different than trying to spin away the fact that among the world's terrorists, Muslims are the largest group.
