I applaude the bravery displayed by AA employees after Sept 11. Their professional behavior on and off the planes is admirable. If the complainers had to put their lives on the line everyday, I doubt very much that they would be talking to lawyers and claim racial profiling. The facts are: Middle Eastern people flew planes into buildings and their "leaders" called jihad on America. Should AA pilots, attendants an/or security personnel be looking for blonde, blue eyed people with Scandinavian or German last names as possible terrorists here? Call it profiling if you wish but it was their own people who did the damage. As a Hispanic, if the tables were turned on me because my people did this atrocity, I would cooperate to the fullest in all security matters. True, I would not like being singled out but the US as a country is above any specific religious, racial or political interest.

Perhaps we should profile Hispanics. There is at least one that blew up an commercial airliner, who actually lives in Miami and has never faced prosecution, no US citizens died though, so do we care? No.
