Actually, it's not more likely.  It isn't like the terrorists are *idiots*.
You *do* realize that the increased scrutiny of every dark-skinned male
in the streets of Baghdad has caused an increase in the number of *female*
suicide bombers, right?

Good.  So tell me - if we started profiling *your* ethnic group because
of the increased problems with homegrown right-wing extremists here in the
US (Ruby Ridge, McVeigh, the whole skinhead movement, murder of abortion
doctors in churches, etc etc) - what *realistic* steps could *you* take
to deal with the problem people?

Oh, you're in Conneticut and the problem is assholes in Wyoming?  Oh, too bad.

And yes, I *am* more worried that some stupid with a bunch of firearms who
listens to too much Glenn Beck and Teabagger propaganda will do something than
I am worried about Muslim terrorists.
