ACLU: If It Makes Sense, They’re Against It
ABCNews reports: “Security screeners at 40 major airports across the country will be trained next year to use casual conversation to flush out possible terrorists.

Michelle Malkin weighs in:
If the ACLU has its way, the interrogation methods used by Diana Dean–the Customs Agent whose questioning of a nervous and sweating young, brown-skinned male trying to cross the Washington state-Canada border unraveled al Qaeda’s LAX Millenium plot and saved untold innocent lives–would be banned nationwide.
If the ACLU has its way, we’d have no profiling of any kind.
And no border security.
No counterterrorism surveillance.
The ACLU response to terrorism is: Do Nothing. Who needs enemies?
Indeed.
