I wonder if Tariq Ali had happened to have been reading Mein Kampf if that would have been cool--'oh he's no evil terrorist, he's just a nazi. Here's your boarding pass sir.'

While I do have moments of nervous low-grade paranoia, this wasn't really meant to be taken super seriously This was a failed joke, probably one in poor taste. It’s true.

I wonder if books are just what to focus on after it has been decided whether someone is terrorist or 'normal' to begin with, by their name, their skin color... When I was coming back from Paris, I had a bag of books from the Institut du Monde Arabe. I was taken by security in Pittsburgh, began to be searched, when they realized I had an anglo name. That's when they APOLOGIZED and sent me on my way. Guess being white is like knowing the mayor of munich. Books are not so important as codes of dress, citizenship and names I think.
