Yep, we have to give people who have certain ethnic names and certain ethnic appearance an extra look at the security checkpoint. Those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it.

If you've been through a security checkpoint at an airport recently, it seems like we're all suspect anyhow. I last went through one on my way back from Mexico 3 weeks ago and had to remove my sandals and empty the pockets of my cargo shorts. It's time-consuming and kind of a pain in the ass, sure, but I'm cool with it if the procedures are the best form of preventing something like shoe bombers or hijackers, etc.
