One word, and it's one that will probably piss a lot of people off:
Profiling.
Someone needs to let their balls drop (it'll probably have to be a woman) and tell people, "Fuck you, be offended."
However, just because we would profile, doesn't mean that race/religion/ethnicity would be the only factor(s). There'd have to be some solid criteria to justify a search, like:
Country of Origin
Unsavory Affiliations (ours is not the only gummint what keeps an eye one people, you know? They know who is buying those plane tickets.)
How fares were bought/paid for is a big tip-off, apparently. A short notice ticket paid for in cash is allegedly a "big sign."
They could even have multiple lists, like "must search," and "search if there's cause/time."
Hell, Muslims are not the only group with crazies in their ranks. You could extend that profiling out to catch all sort of crackpots.
Regardless, I don't think this is going to last long, because it will kill air travel when people stop flying because they don't want their nudes on the internet (they've already "forgotten" to delete photos once) or to have some stranger touch their down-stairs mix-up. Someone will be out of a job in a few weeks, the shit will be gone, and they'll be doing something new and different to piss everyone off.
