“Shock: ACLU official files ‘racial profiling’ lawsuit”
POSTED AT 10:58 AM ON DECEMBER 5, 2007 BY BRYAN

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Logan officials say race played no role in the decision to question Downing. The first trooper to ask Downing for identification was black, and three of the four officers who arrived later were also black, according to court documents. The first trooper said he became suspicious when he saw Downing watching him.

Airport officials insisted behavior-pattern recognition helps strengthen security and does not involve racial profiling.

“We welcome the opportunity to defend the program in court,” said Matthew Brelis, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates the airport.”
