In case you didn’t hear the interview on NPR, former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has stated that racial profiling is NOT effective in combatting terrorism.

This is a direct quote:

Mr. CHERTOFF: I think it’s not only problematic from civil rights’ standpoint, but frankly, I think it winds up not being terribly effective.
