The short answer is yes.
The long answer is.... hell yes.
The thing of it is, if they relax the rules for the Turkish chick, then other chicks from other countries will cry foul. No one should be exempt from being questioned a little more closely from now on, no one. All it takes is the NEXT woman travelling from Turkey to get inside the borders and do some nasty shit.
I remember the good old days of crossing the border (and coming back across)....
"</i>Where are you headed?"
"How long will you be staying in the US/Canada?"
"Are you carrying anything to declare?"
"Have a nice trip"</i>
Those days are gone forever thanks to terrorists. I don't think blaming our fellow countrymen for "questioning and detaining" certain foreigners is really the right way to go here.
