It used to be (and in some places, I imagine, it still is) that Driving While Black was treated by police officers as a punishable offense. Now, Flying While Arab, or at least Arab-looking, is also enough to get one stopped in an airport. The sad thing is the precautions that Arabs and those who merely look like Arabs are having to take in order to board an airplane. Talk about the many having to answer for the sins of the few. We're bigger than that...aren't we??
