Do you believe he would also be grounded due to him being Saudi? If so, how does that fit into the racial profiling? Also, do you know of any non-saudi military pilots from countries in the region who are also being grounded?

I suppose another question we could ask ourselves is if the shooter was from the UK or France or something, would there be a similar grounding. I'm not really sure, but I tend to think not. I would anticipate a response to that question would be 'does the UK or France have a history of exporting terrorism (or something similar)', and the citing of the line in the article that states changes in procedures will be applied to all students in the future. To which I would then expect a long discussion on what constitutes terrorism and exporting it. Forget this, I'm just going to go play solitaire.
