Reader comment on item: Pretending Not to Profile Muslims

Submitted by Arthur Gober (United States), Dec 26, 2005 at 17:37

Some time ago, I was being screened before boarding a flight, as is the general custom. I inadvertently had a razor blade in my wallet, and it was noticed in the x-ray or scanning machine, and was subsequently confiscated (with my total agreement). I am not Muslim or Arab.
