If you do what them scrutinized more then what the hell is your point?

If not ( I think you are lying) don't you think they will be more likely to mess with the plane than your average passenger?
I think that if you're following this line of reasoning you're a bit of an asshole.

Note that you haven't said anything about where they are from, where they are going, their age, their demeanor, whether or not they have carry-on bags, or anything else other than the fact that they are Arabs.

In other words, you have pretty much laid waste to all your protestations that their ethnicity is just one factor in a profile. Of course, pretty much all your posts on the subject, when read carefully, have made it clear that you are saying the mere fact of their ethnicity is enough for you to label Arab males suspect.
