At the moment you should be WAY more worried about local crime. Your much more likely to fall down the stairs and die than get bombed to pieces by a terrorist.
For now I don't think you have to be so paranoid. At least not until you get more attacks.
See, that right there is one of my biggest gripes about this whole 'terrorism' thing. All this security on airlines and for what? 'They'* do the airplane thing one time and suddenly we got to go through hell and high water at the airport, yet, 'They' bomb public places seemingly at will, and what, no increased security at McDonald's? "I'll take a large fry and a pipe bomb to the sternum please." The whole airport security thing is a joke, and a utter waste of time. If 'They' want to get something nasty on a plane, then 'They' will. Hassling normal folks that are just trying to fly to the in-laws is ridiculous.

Well, let's see. I didn't see Christians flying planes into buildings.
I didn't see Sikhs flying planes into buildings.
Nor Wiccans, nor Taoists.
Muslims.
So who would I look to and be naturally suspicious?
This isn't all that hard to understand.
Who was the male adult in the Belway sniper team.
Oh. That's right John Muhammed.
But don't anyone worry about Muslims. They are a peaceful religion.
Until you turn on the TV or read the papers.

You didn't see Muslims flying planes into buildings either.
You just saw planes flying into buildings.
*and five dancing Israelis filming it happen.

Hey, if your terrorists wear silver-thread short pants, turpentine rags around their ankles, shave their heads, and wear purple hats, then by God, it's common sense that you keep an eye on everyone who wears silver-thread short pants, wraps turpentine rags around their ankles, shaves their heads, and wears purple hats.
Probably staged to enable a lawsuit anyway.
Or, just good, common sense.

Is that what America is coming too?
Stereotyping a generally peaceful religion?
This is reminiscent of the Red Scare and the negativity toward the Japanese during World War II. If only we could see past the skin. It was one thing to take his family off the plane and screen him and another to refuse him and his family a flight AFTER they had been specifically reviewed by the FBI. This is completely ridiculous.
