    It was completely unacceptable for a member of this house human being to be treated in this way.

    In absolutely no context does the name your parents gave you correlate to whether or not you’re a terrorist.

      To play Devil’s advocate, yes it does. That’s how statistical association works. More Muslims are terrorists, and most Mohammad’s are Muslim. Israel’s airport uses profiling like this and it’s one of the safest, most efficient airports in the world. The West is grappling with what to do with this. We could be safer if we also employed profiling, but we don’t like it for moral reasons.
