American Muslims reentering the United States from abroad are alleging U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents inquired about their religious beliefs and practices””questions they say violate their constitutional rights.

What utter horse hockey. They can grab my and my wife’s personal areas for no articulable reason, but they can’t ask if we are terrorists. Only in America.

I suppose they could ask us all whether we are terrorists, but I doubt that such a question is likely to elicit actionable information.
