ACLU sides with the enemy...again

In a recent article, Jim Kouri writes “The Transportation Security Administration is finally taking some positive steps to professionalize airport security. The initial step was designating security screens as security officers, which will require additional training and supervision, as well as additional responsibilities.

“Part of the professionalization process is the training of airport security staff in what's been called psychological profiling or behavioral analysis or a number of other terms that all amount to the same thing — avoiding allegations of racial profiling while at the same time effectively screening out potential terrorists.”

“Most clear-thinking Americans should welcome this new program: It is not random; it doesn't entail profiling based on skin color or ethnicity; and it's unobtrusive. Unfortunately, there are some in the United States that take a different view of homeland security. One group is already making noises and have begun to look into taking legal action against the TSA and airports who have security officers using behavior detection. That group is — surprise? — the American Civil Liberties Union.”

It’s not that the ACLU is siding with the enemy – The ACLU is the enemy.
