This is exactly the kind of shit that I was talking about in my post about the shameful legacy of our piss pants reaction to 9/11.
And note how blithely the FBI spokesperson states that the public prefers that they overreact rather than under react. Personally, I would rather prefer they act with a modicum of sanity and not use heavily armed SWAT teams to drag innocent citizens off of an airplane for no reason other than they are brown. And let's be honest with ourselves - that is exactly what happened here.
The Onion, excellent as usual, nails it here.
