Profiling

One of the key elements of the liberal response to terrorism has been that they would not allow "profiling" - choosing particular groups for special scrutiny.

The Obama Administration yesterday said that persons traveling to the US with the following passports (Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria,Afghanistan, Algeria, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen) will face special procedures before they board a plane to the US. I salute the Administration for this step. My only question is why this very logical step took the federal government so long to do.

Oh, by the way, wait for someone in the media to help redefine what "profiling" means.
