| Abstract | When Samar Kaukab headed back home after attending a conference, she was subjected to an embarrassing search security officers at O'Hare Airport in Chicago. According to a lawyer from the American Civil Liberties Union, Ms. Kaukab was subjected to a humiliating search not because she posed a security threat, but because she was wearing a hijab which identified her as Muslim. While some people claim racial profiling of Arabs and Arab-Americans as impermissible, others claim that after the events of September 11, 2001, racial profiling in airports is permissible on the grounds of national security. |
