For many, the issue has become personal. Abhorred by racial profiling, some find themelves scared or concerned about persons who look Middle Eastern, Arab or practice the Islamic faith.
Some say they would not get on a plane with Middle Easterners and there have already been reports of travelers objecting to traveling with foreigners.
