Airline Security Must Protect Rights As Well As Safety

NEW YORK–(ENEWSPF)–January 4, 2010.  The Obama administration announced Sunday it will subject the citizens of 14 nations who are flying to the United States to intensified screening at airports, including being subjected to full-body pat downs or body scanners.

Racial profiling and untargeted body scanning do not meet those criteria.
