One other thing that I am concerned about now is the sort of problems I might face as a Saudi Arabian in the current political climate in North America. Does it make me some sort of liability to the airlines, who are already obsessed with intense security sweeps and anyone sporting a passport outside of this continent? Would it be fair to presume that carrying a copy of the Koran in my knapsack – as I did on my last international flight – may lead to suspicions about my intentions towards the place I have called home for over thirty years? I do wonder. They may have to make some space at Guantanamo Bay for a Canadian of Caribbean origin who looks Saudi Arabian yet feels like a hoser. Of course, my Caribbean background should make me feel quite comfortable in that hemisphere (viva Cuba!)
