In that statement there the determining factor why they should be questioned shouldn't be because they are 4 Arabic men.....it should be that they are 4 men boarding a cross-country flight w/ NO luggage.
Everybody is going to give people of middle-eastern descent a second look because of 911, thats just human nature. And a second look isn't the same as singling someone out of a crowd,stopping them and searching them because of it.
The key is to try and not make it an acceptable practice. Once we say its OK, as a society, to look at this guy w/ suspicion because of the color of his skin then thats a real problem.
