3. This quotation sums it up..

“That there are no credible threats in our area still has not prevented the FBI from being involved in racial and religious mapping of communities including Dearborn prior to the revelations about the spy plane,” Walid said Wednesday afternoon. “That the FBI states that it is operating within its Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide is not comforting because that guide allows for the agency to use national origin and religion as factors for threat assessments of community members.”
The security/law enforcement industry in this country works from beneath a mountain of legalese to make virtually anything (technically) legal and proper.
