Why is this a crisis? (Score 1)

What makes this a crisis? Who cares that the FBI is looking at purchase records of middle-eastern foods? So, now they have a list of people who eat stereotypical middle-eastern food. All that tells them, without other information, is that we have middle-eastern food loving people in the USA! Credit card companies, any major corporation, etc in the USA collects the same kind of information for targeted advertisement, those complaining about this aren't screaming at those companies....why the FBI?
Even if they were using this information for some surveillance op, they couldn't arrest ANYONE for buying middle-eastern food....nor could they harass someone without the clear opportunity for lawsuit. This is just people who hate the current administration for whatever reason they have.
