Critical industries and key infrastructure should take steps to guard against potential terrorist attacks, including checking for possible infiltrators among employees, according to a new government warning.

I am confused. The only way employers can "check for possible infiltrators among employees" is by using some form of profiling, but if they use profiling of any kind they will be sued.

How exactly can this be complied with?

Answer -- The FBI is profiling but not saying so. Of course, they have to.

Now they want employers to tell them what some of their employees are doing.

Length of residency, US citizenship do not automatically take you out of the shadow of suspicion. Long term jihadi cells have burrowed into the fabric of America, waiting patiently for their time, heretofore safe under the veil of suburbia, kids and Americana.

THE FBI cannot tell who individually is a threat or not, so a blanket warning has been issued to hopefully smoke out the jihadis.

Dunno about you guys, but this seems a fairly dramatic announcement.
