This was in today's Google-News-by-email, and it's a VERY sobering reminder of what it's like to go through life in America post-9/11/01 if you look even remotely Middle Eastern. I can't imagine. And some days -I- think I have it tough.
The news article explaining briefly what happened to Shoshana Hebshi, a "half-Arab, half-Jewish housewife", as she sat peacefully aboard a plane on 9/11/11: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44501310/ns/us_news-security/
But what's a really good read is her insightful blog post about the incident: http://shebshi.wordpress.com/2011/09/12/some-real-shock-and-awe-racially-profiled-and-cuffed-in-detroit/
