My mom and I don't fly all that much, but there have been at least a couple of times when our luggage got temporarily misplaced. At least one of those times, the luggage was missing for about 24 hours. Thus, my mom likes to pack the "essentials"--a bag of toiletries--in her carry-on. Ah well, I'd rather be toiletries-less than exploded.
Also, I wonder if things will be a bigger hassle for diabetics, now? They never even give me a second glance when my carry-on with syringes and insulin goes through.
As for racial profiling, I think it makes sense... but I also think that if they actually did start doing it, like someone above said the Muslims would just start finding different people to do the work for them. Also, I bet it sucks enough being a Muslim in an airport, anyway... I can't imagine standing in big crowds of people looking at you suspiciously as you innocently wait your turn in line to board a plane.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
