Popular state laws permit detaining individuals because of their appearance, where they worship or with whom they associate. Are you just highlighting that the article was written in 2012 or suggesting that because the article was written in 2012 it is not relevant or current? Or that the issues themselves, as mentioned above, are not current (ie. citizen target assassinations or NSA mining of electronic communications...that is so...2012)?
