none of the original posts referred to banning people - only the level of discomfort some people now feel around others of a different race/dress etc. I'm not proud of how I feel, but I think it's good to talk about these issues and feelings and try and diffuse them. I certainly woudl not want to ban people from planes becasse they look a certain way - but even here ont he ground, people are jumpy if the bottled water guy is different form the person who' s been doing deliveries for months, or if someone is hanging around our lobby looking nervous. (We've had 2 bomb threats since the 11th). I'm not saying it's good, just that it is happening and I think we should talk about dealing with it.
