John Ross,
Good stuff.
I take issue with only one of your comments:
No, I don't have a solution. But the problem appears to be getting worse.

Because the state can no longer protect us from crime, it wants to take away from us the means of protecting ourselves. This is the logic of gun control. -- Joseph Sobran

The problem with that is that in these post 9/11, Chicken Little is not going to see the problem here. He's going to look at you and go, "Yeah, you're right, we should do that. Anything to fight terrorism!"WE SHOULD SAY: "Although no state has experienced what you are describing, that's not important. What IS important is our freedom. If saving lives is more important than anything else, why don't we throw out the Fifth Amendment? We have the technology to administer an annual truth serum session to the entire population. We'd catch the criminals and mistaken arrest would be a thing of the past. How does that sound?"
No, I don't have a solution. But the problem appears to be getting worse.
