Secret Service Profiling Security Policy Draws Fire
2004-08-04

The Secret Service is drawing criticism for asking journalists who cover presidential campaign events to disclose their race,just as President Bush and Senator Kerry prepare to address a national conference of minority journalists later this week.

Racial information is routinely requested by the Secret Service for background checks of journalists coming in close proximity to the president,the vice president, and the Democratic presidential nominees, according to spokesmen for the service.But editors at the Arizona Daily Star condemned the practice after the Bush-Cheney campaign appeared to single out a photographer of South Asian descent for extra scrutiny.

#2  So one can enquire about your racial background when you apply to be a fry cook at Wendy's and no one says boo.

Try to enquire about the same for someone who comes within pistol range of the president and then it's an issue????

Please let the world of PC and multi-culti collapse before it gets us all killed.
