Look, guys, we're all human. Of course we will feel a little more nervous if we are on a plane with someone who is Arabic.

But we should do our ****dest to beat that prejudice down. Virtually all Arabs deplore the acts of September 11. And as painful as it was for us, imagine how painful it is for them. They are the ones who have to look at their fellow Arabs slaughtering innocents.

As for the profiling, well, I would expect that Arabs will get asked more questions, and they will get scanned with the wand even if they pass through the metal detectors without a problem. But folks, that's not a violation of civil rights -- it's an inconvenience. If you take them away, arrest them, and ask them questions without a lawyer present for hours, that's different.

So, basically, folks, we need to try to reach out to the AMERICANS who are Arabic rather than getting them tossed off our flights.
