Are passengers racially profiled ? It is a stupid question. Of course they won't strip a buddhist or roman catholic to the same extent. I would not recommend any form of travel or trade by innocent muslims till terrorism stops. You can only avoid the problem, it will be there as long as terrorism exists . Brand Images have been formed so now it will take time to change it - if you try to excercise your rights , you will find verification to be distasteful. If you feel this will breed more terrorists then you are embracing a path of no return.
