A Victory for Racial Profiling

Congress won't admit it, but they just overwhelmingly legitimized racial profiling by strongly opposing the UAE/ports deal. Otherwise, if it's just foreign "control" of U.S. ports they oppose, one wonders whether the Saudi, Danish, Singaporean, Hong Kong, or Chinese companies will have to divest their respective operations as well.

All in all, I'm sick of this story and glad it's dead. Plus, now that racial profiling is admittedly OK for security purposes, we can just tell the ACLU to take a seat and keep quiet when we scrutinize 20 year-old Muhammed at the airport a little more closely than granny.
