... would the govt have any grounds to legally do this?

... would any part of the Muslim population 'understand' the reasoning and be able to be ok with it?

... what groups would be the main protesters about this type of profiling?

... is this country prepared for muslim profiling?

I have no definite feeling either way right now, so not looking for a flame thread. Just thought of the implications of it..

Yes.

would any part of the Muslim population 'understand' the reasoning and be able to be ok with it?

Yes, but would publically denounce it to show unity with their Islamic brothers.


what groups would be the main protesters about this type of profiling?

ACLU, illegal immigrants, NAACP, etc


is this country prepared for muslim profiling?

Almost

I thought that's what the terrorist list was.
I thought they profile but pull out a few white females in hiphuggers and no bras once in a while along with last minute no check in luggage passengers to pretend they do not.

Sec, you seem to have a lot of negative opinions against ideas to try to protect US citizens.

Let's try something new, if you were in charge (god help us), what would YOU have in mind to tighten air travel and to put American travelers a little more at ease?
