U.S. Intensifies Screening for Travelers From 14 Nations

From the NYTimes:

Citizens of 14 nations including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and
Nigeria who are flying to the United States will be subjected
indefinitely to the intense screening at airports worldwide
that was imposed in the aftermath of the Christmas Day
bombing plot, Obama administration officials announced
Sunday.

But American citizens, and most others who are not flying
through those nations on their way to the United States, will
no longer automatically face the full-range of intensified
security that had been imposed after the attempted bombing of
a Northwest Airlines flight, officials said.


About damn time, although I can already hear the wailing of "profiling" and "racism" from the bleeding hearts on the left.

Thanks, Obama. We finally agree on something.
