Well, what if he were a Muslim?
Most of us have had enough of this arbitrary discrimination, and we should pressure to see that those responsible are held individually accountable.
Hear, hear! I don't know, but I would venture to guess that PhlyingRPh was just being tongue-in-cheek about how stupid the screeners are and meant no offense...
I appreciate the sentiments and support. It's pretty easy for me to get away with being a "closet Muslim" when it suits me since I'm a Scandanavian looking American guy with a bland last name, but it sucks that it's at all necessary.
