Terrorist profile: wearing all black, hoodie and sunglasses. Oh, and he skulks.

  If you can stand to watch this government produced (undoubtedly at great expense) video, you'll see what Alex Jones of InfoWars refers to as racism on the part of the DHS.
  The paranoid (not without reason) InfoWars refers to the video's problems this way:
Bizarrely, nearly every single one of the “patriotic” Americans who reports on their fellow citizen is either black, Asian or Arab. Imagine if the video had portrayed every terrorist as an Arab and every patriotic snoop as white, there’d be an outcry and rightly so, but this strange reversal must have been deliberate on the part of the DHS, but why? Is this merely political correctness taken to the extreme or is something deeper at work?
  I'll let the InfoWars types do the racist, paranoid commentary.
  If you can pain yourself to watch it (it's been out a year but people are just finding it now, it being part of DHS), you might notice at least one misspelling, in keeping, again, with the efficiency and accuracy of much of what government does. Sortuva Post Office work ethic.
  What is truly amusing about the video is not just the misspelling, but the comic "acting" that is done to demonstrate how to treat suspicious persons and the way suspected terrorists might dress.
  For example, if you happen to notice some guy dressed in all black with a black hoodie pulled over his head, hunched over a notebook and taking pictures of the subway train's arrival, be sure to stand really close and peer over his shoulder to see what he's writing. 
  Stand there for a while, by all means, look around to see if anyone else is noticing you. Pull your phone out while standing next to the black hooded white man wearing sunglasses at night, dial DHS and then, to be safe, move over to the escalator while you say into the phone, "I noticed a suspicious man sitting in the subway taking pictures and I'm going to say something."
  Also it's easy to spot terrorists because they always wear all black and skulk.
  They skulk around the corner, skulk up and down the stairs and skulk while taking pictures.
  Also, if you see one moving quickly, be sure to run, run, run away as quickly as possible while pulling out your phone. This won't draw attention to yourself as a witness to said terrorist, we're sure.
  It's 10 minutes long, but if you can stand it, here it is.

  And, remember! If you see something! Say something! Get sued!
