<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The point is that other languages or cultures that use a name won't matter to them - what matters is that it is ALSO an arabic name, not exclusively an arabic name. That is how narrow the "profiling" is.

Indeed, we all expect a lot of people with names that appear to be Arabic to be profiled. What is vile and disturbing is the number of FTers who support it as an expeditious and efficient way of increasing security.
