The word now is that Rasha Alawieh had pictures "favorable to Hezbollah" on her phone. Some were (gasp) DELETED. First, apparently Customs DOES have the right to search one's phone, even without a reasonable suspicion. But what exactly is "favorable to Hezbollah?" She IS Lebanese and Israel DID invade her country. Were the pictures actually in favor of terrorism, or just happy that someone was trying to stop Israel? We are into "being Pro Palestinian is being Pro Hamas" territory here.
Did Customs really think that she was entering the US to nefariously kill off kidney transplant patients while wearing a hijab? It would seem that if one is to do a terrorist act, it would be more useful with a group that has better life expectancy. My own nephrologist wears a hijab and she is GREAT.
