Flying Terrorists?

Read this scary account of a flight from Detroit to LA.  (hat tip Instapundit)   This story naturally brings up the question of how much profiling we should do to middle eastern men flying on our airline (or engaging in other activities.)  I am conflicted about this.  On the one hand, the terrorists we are fighting ARE middle eastern men.  They wish us ill and will kill as many as they can.  On the other hand I believe that a person should not be judged at all because of their skin color and we shouldn't treat people like suspects just because they are of a certain ethnicity.   That is probably why I am so hawkish on Iraq.  I believe strongly that the only way to solve this problem is to change the culture in the Middle-East.  More precisely I believe that we need to give the people of the middle east the chance to build a culture that is not dominated by thugs, whether secular or religious.    In the meantime, I suppose it is best to live with the risk and not violate any rights.  I doubt that sentiment will survive many more attacks however.
