RE: We will Survive

It's interesting that you suggest that no Arabs be allowed on any planes.
Since many among us can't tell the difference between Arabs and Egyptians,
Israelis, Turkish, or Sicilians and Black Irish this might be a difficult
policy to implement.  (I'd venture a guess that there are some folks
employed in Airport Security who would confuse Filipinos.)

Assuming profiling were made legal (or implemented informally) I think your
suggestion would ultimately only encourage mistrust of anyone moderately
swarthy.
