But S-2 what about people like me who are way too good looking to be scanned by the body scanners and that too free of charge ?
But in all seriousness, while this is a matter of national security and no matter what anyone says shouldn't influence state's decsion. But considering this particular situation singling out these countries is discrimination. Its not so much about the checking at the airport, its more about the welcome message your giving to people who are coming to this country
Just drawing a parallel.. In MOst countries, you will find segments of roads which are more prone to accidents (due to gradient, curves etc) and are marked as accident prone area. It does not mean that if you drive on that road, you will have an accident. Its just that you have to be more careful there. The same situation applies. Identifying some nationalities does not brand those nationalities as terrorists. Its just that historically, most terrorists have come from those countries and hence you need to be more careful with folks coming from there. Its same as US being more vigilant on their mexican border than on the canadian becuase illegal immigration is more probable from mexico than from canada. Or pakistan having more forces on Afghanistan border (now) than at Iranian border
just my 2 cents...
