Mall visitors unknowingly end up in counterterror reports

Our homeland security reporter G.W. Schulz. Our new investigation with NPR can be found here: Mall of America visitors unknowingly end up in counterterrorism reports.

ageofperil:

We built a database of suspicious activity reports obtained through open-government laws in Minnesota. Check it out. The database accompanies a package of stories we released today at the Center for Investigative Reporting about the post-9/11 phenomenon of suspicious activity. You can read the stories online now or listen to National Public Radio’s All Things Considered this afternoon. Another version will air tonight on PBS NewsHour, and one more story will be available tomorrow on NPR’s Morning Edition.
