Unless this is targeted by profiling it is nothing but a circle jerk and an utter waste of police manpower. What are they going to do in January, have everyone take off his coat? how many busses run through midtown? How many stops are there? How many taxis are there (and how many are owned and/or operated by muslims)? How many muslim owned and/or operated coffee, pretzel, hot dog carts are there in Manhattan? Each of these should be checked every day if they want to waste manpower in an area where it might actually stop something.
I've been waiting 4 years for someone to use the term "circle jerk" on Free Republic.
Just when I was beginning to lose hope, BAM, you came though for me.
Thank you.
