Something interesting to note is that since 9/11 racial profiling has existed in the US whether its mentioned or not. Ask any arab or asian and they would tell you that they have been singled out since 9/11. I would bet every 1 out of 4 people have experienced it already. If your name is arab or muslim, you are automatically singled out at one time or another. Ask any arab or muslim person that you know and he or she has experienced profilling in all kinds of situations whether traveling, working, shopping, doing every day things. So really this poll is irrelavant because racial profilling exists already. You may see an 85 year old grandmother being searched, but what you dont see is arabs or asian being asked on a plane to get out of their seat and asked questions or missing a flight while their backround is being checked. And you will be amazed to know that most arabs or muslim who are American and live in this country because they love America don't actually mind having to go through this process. What many people don't hear in the media is that literally millions of American muslims have may have had their phones tapped or email read just because of their religious backround. Also what the media doesn't tell you is that alot of the plots that were uncovered or prevented were with the help of muslims informats living in the US and abroad. So really racial profilling will exist and will continue to exist until this war on terror is won, but it won't be won with the "kill'em all mentality" because all it will do is isolate people who actually have been helping us all along to win this war.

...my two cents
