<If you have a ME name and appearance> That assumes that the dumbos at the airport know "what" ME name and appearance is. If my name was Muhammed, I'd probably get a legal name change to George Washington. Then what ? In my opinion, the airport guys are caught in the middle : - if they dont hassle enough passengers, people say they are lax. - if they hassle just 1 kind of passenger, then its profiling - if they hassle another kind of passenger then its 'dont u know that I just cant be one of those terrorist folks?' And a sophisticated org like AQ is not stoopid enough to either repeat the same MO, or use people with similar profiles.
