The comments largely indicate that there are a lot of stupid bigots out there, and they represent a far greater threat to America than "Muslim terrorists."

I've traveled and worked in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and I have several sets of shalwar kameez, the loose pants with long tunics and matching head scarves, which are very comfortable to wear, especially on long plane trips. Now I am a white Christian with a very English sounding name, and a US passport documenting I was born and raised in the USA.

But if I wear shalwar kameez through the security checkpoint, all he!! breaks loose! "Hey, we got us a Mooslum terry-wrist here." I switched back to "normal" American clothing because I get enough trouble for opting out, or wearing a skirt that requires a groping of my breasts, thighs, "anal cleft" and vulva to be sure I am not hiding something explosive "in there."

I can just imagine if I also committed the crime of traveling while brown/Muslim; I'd never actually get to the plane.
