Senator Red Kensington:
So let me get this straight, Agent Goldwater. All it took for you to conclude that an Arabic-looking man was an al Qaeda terrorist was that he was carrying a violin case that had already cleared airport security and that he was watching a Tom Clancy movie? And we're not supposed to think that you had racially profiled this innocent performing artist the moment you set eyes on him?

Jack Goldwater:
Senator, my tactical assessment was based on a confluence of factors...

Senator Red Kensington:
But you want me to believe that if another airline passenger carrying a violin case and watching an American movie had been blond and blue-eyed, you would not have profiled him as having smuggled a weapon or a bomb aboard this domestic flight between St. Louis and Las Vegas, and pounced on him as if he'd just walked out of a meeting with Osama bin Laden?
