I hope so, Strick, but many things are presented as being impossible right up until they we are told they have become inevitable.

I don't think anyone else in this thread has actually mentioned Arabs as such. Aftercall, most Muslims aren't Arabs, many Arabs aren't Muslim. I sincerely hope - rather against expectations - that they aren't going in for racial stereotyping at airline security. Aside from everything else, it'd mean they were taking their eyes of most of the potential terrorists, who come in all religions and all skin colours. People in airline security need to remember Timothy McVeigh.
