I have a friend who "looks Arab", but is not. Many generation "Amurikan". He gets the extra inspection constantly when travelling, and it bugs him. Shall I tell him, "geez, sucks to be you, too darn bad you don't have blonde hair and blue eyes also..."?

Some might say that he should just suffer through it as his patriotic duty, and it is worth it if it saves lives. I believe those people might feel differently if it was them. And will it really save lives?
