Thankfully my name or at least passport # is no longer on the list.


but I was briefly detained the next 2 times re-entering the US before they cleared it up.

No, flying while Arab is not a crime, but it should not be that shocking that this would happen given the state of things in the world. I have real sympathy for the kid but I think your comparison is too harsh. Can't remember the last time a black person tried to blow up an airplane or crash it into a building, much less succeeded.
