do I really have to use g's for THAT!? Say it isn't so.
Facial expression and tone of voice are very poorly transmitted over the web, wondrous as it is. :-)

I must commend your devotion to the constitution:
Thank you. I support the right of anyone to shoot any SOB who irritates them for any reason. <V VBG>

What do you suppose Minetta would say was the difference? I can't see any, unless it's that cars don't have
feelings.

Mineta is an opportunistic scumbag politician that the area I live in unfortunately inflicted on the nation. He will say what will advance his career. However, he very well might insist that police not stop ANYONE of Japanese ancestry. If he could.

The joke part is that not profiling for screening in airports, for example, is as crazy as it would be to be searching yellow cabs equally with white vans.
There actually is logic to equal opportunity searches at airports and vehicle stops in DC. As soon as terrorists or this guy notice that some group is exempt, they will either find people of that group to do their dirty work or turn into that group.
However, police resources being limited, it also makes sense to concentrate them on the highest probability targets.
