Political Factoid
In 2014, the Obama Administration
issued new rules to bar profiling
by federal* agents based upon
religion.
Under the old rules in effect since
2003 (G.W. Bush Administration),
federal law enforcement
personnel were barred
from stopping people
on the basis of race or
ethnicity,
however, they could
be stop based upon
religion.

Of course, state and local police might still
use religious profiling to stop people
... and undoubtly may plan to do so
in many of the conservative districts.
