9/22    A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll taken a few days after the attacks
        showed that Americans were supporting special measures intended for
        those of Arab descent. In the survey, 58 percent backed more intensive
        security checks for Arabs, including those who are United States
        citizens, compared with other travelers; 49 percent favored special
        identification cards for such people, and 32 percent backed "special
        surveillance" for them.
        \_ I love polls.  Here's your poll stated differently, "More than
           two thirds of Americans are opposed to any sort of 'special
           surveillance' for Arab-Americans, more than half were opposed to
           ID cards, and a near majority were opposed to any sort of security
           checks for those of Arab descent".  Polls are garbage.  Most are
           "push polls" with leading questions and no right answer which allow
           the poll taker to make whatever they want of the answers.  Ever been
           polled?  I have.  It was 20 minutes long and they could have had me
           saying *anything*.  "100% of csua members polled are in favor of
           deorbiting the moon to lower the price of cheese".
           \_ Ooh!  I'm for that.  -John
