But the controversial video has angered some Americans due to the fact all the actors who play the would-be terrorists in the video are white, and the people who report them are either black, Asian or Arab.
The absurdity of the scenarios is matched only in what homeland insecurity considers terrorist-like behavior:

The ten-minute clip shows a number of scenarios in which different behaviours which could be characterised as terrorism are played out.
These include - wearing a hooded top, driving vans, opposing surveillance footage, using a video camera, talking to police officers and recording something on your smartphone, among others.

Did you not know that it was white middle class males who flew those jets into buildings on 911. Maybe it displays the bigotry and racism of this administration, how bout them apples.
padcrasher, you are living in a strange alternate reality if you think a few isolated incidents of violence that are unrelated and not motivated by a unifiying ideology can in any way compare to the threat of Muslim jihadists.
Here's just a short list of jihadist attacks in the US in the past two years. It doesn't even count the number of attacks that have failed or been foiled by authorities.

Funny video, if you sit down and watch it. Apparently all terrorists wear sunglasses indoors at night, always have hoods on, and drive plain white vans. Oh, and are always, without exception, white middle class Americans.
Ironically, I know people who carry around notepads and use video cameras at train stations and or just out and about. A pretty popular hobby in fact. In the ultimate twist of irony, the railroad companies themselves have been calling on these folks to report on suspicious activities, while DHS would have you report on the ones who would most likely recognize truly harmful or suspicious activity.
It's just that the only terrorists Obama has ever met happen to be a white couple who live in his Chicago neighborhood.
Good one. Maybe padcrusher can add Obama's friend Bill Ayers to his list of evil White terrorists.
