Reply #24: I don't think you'd even have to go so far as wear the knitted bowl hat

The hair and beard will probably do it alone.

My friend's husband and his daughter, both Egyptian, were pulled out of line for extra screening multiple times in a trip we all made together between the mainland and Hawaii. It was so predictable, it wasn't funny. He wasn't wearing anything special.(I can't remember if he was sporting a beard at the time or not. Ever since 9/11 he has kept himself usually shorn.) Pretty pathetic, I say.

P.S. The Koran I'm sure will really help in your experiment!
