"It's a gray area," said Caleb Charland, 23, a photographer from the city's Dorchester neighborhood. "I don't want people searching my bags, but if it increases safety, I understand."

Why don't we just cacoon Caleb in bubblewrap and feed him via IV from now on. That'll be safer still.

:fire:
 
What's next? Random pullover-searches of vehicles on public roads???

This is becoming absolutely ridiculous! When are people going to realize that these "inconveniences" for their "safety" are nothing more than almost irreversible restrictions on their liberty?


you guys have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how many lawyers think "gee, if it's random, doesn't that make it ok?" I am constantly disappointed by how my legal brethren haven't the faintest clue about how this is all leading us to a police state.

(ok, well maybe you do have an idea, but I meant it as poetic license...)

I am constantly shocked at the "masters and peasants" attitude I see from the bureaucrats I work with. Order and discipline and the GWOT are the only things they care about.
 
>>>leading us to a police state.<<<

Leading us??? You are kidding correct??? We are there if not already.

We are a nation of snitches and eavesdroppers......A nation of men (and women) of VERY little character that will do ANYTHING for the state to keep a little 'warm puddin' in their tummies even if it means violating lil ole ma and pa and every last bit of our constitution.

Does any of this truly suprise you???

Old Samuel Adams was right.......many many years ago........

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty"

Unto the police state we go.....for the children of course. Teddy Kennedy would have it no diffrently........

Baba Louie, ain't it really a helluva note when the natives think they're just as good as the intruders?

The problem arises in the definition of "acting up", which has led to a lot of dead bodies who weren't particularly doing much of anything at all beyond resenting being thrown off their hunting grounds, their source of food. Well, maybe making the mistake that they, themselves, were free.

One problem with the idea of "sanctity" and "original intent" as to our Constitution is that it started out mostly as a way of protection against abuse of state power--but only for land-owning white guys. Didn't do much for Indians, Negroes and Women.

You know how much I really hate it to have to point that out. :D:D:D

Hey, change one part, and don't we here talk about "slippery slope" and changes to other parts?
