App launches for reporting racial profiling at airports


By SB Anderson

The Sikh Coalition this morning launched a new app that lets those who think they have been racially profiled at airpot security report it to the Transportation Safety Administration and the Department of Homeland Security .

““The TSA asserts it doesn’t profile. This application will allow us to better assess whether that’s true,” Amardeep Singh, Director of Programs at the Sikh Coalition, said in a release (PDF).  “All travelers now have an easy way of speaking to their government on the issue of airport profiling.”

 The app is available for iPhone and Android devices.
