Are these Homeland Security folks nuts? If you harass shoppers, they’ll stop shopping. We don’t want that, do we? Of are they trying to scare us to keep indoors and shop online, where they can watch us 24/7?
Mall of America officials say their security unit stops and questions on average up to 1,200 people each year. With 4.2 million square feet under one roof, the two-decade-old mall is a monument to suburban shopping and entertainment. Nearly 100,000 people from around the world pass through on a given day.
The interviews at the mall are part of a counterterrorism initiative that acts as the private eyes and ears of law enforcement authorities but has often ensnared innocent people, according to an investigation by the Center for Investigative Reporting and NPR.
