For those now personally affected by this, (ie, every non-Arab American) this sort of puts a whole new spin on the ‘totally unreasonable’ reaction of the US Government in interring all the Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbour, doesn’t it?
And on a similar vein, a woman was awarded 1.25 million dollars four weeks ago for the ‘trauma’ she suffered as a passenger in an aircraft that successfully landed with no injuries to passengers or crew after a major malfunction. Perhaps this horrible tragedy will put ‘traumas’ such as this lady ‘suffered’ – and the ridiculous demands for outrageous payments for every slight or ‘mental anguish’ suffered - into proper perspective.
