Or the UK:

Laws written originally to thwart the IRA were used to detain suspects and in many cases innocent people, who happened to be Irish, where convicted after confessions were cohered out of them. Can you imagine being jailed for 90 days and being interrogated for that length of time?

It seems plausible that the same thing will happen to innocent Arabs and Muslims whom are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
