Presumption of guilt before presumption of innocence, that's not america, and IMHO hopefully will never be.
Mavdog, how much more proof do you need? Hundreds of innocent Americans were minutes away from dying and you still think it was right to let those terrorists on the plane?

You have it backwards. Scanning Arabic men before they board planes would not be assuming that all Arabic men are terrorists. It would merely be assuming that the majority of terrorists lately have all been Arabic men.

Lives are more important than feelings. Period.
