Hi Ron, I am going to play Polyanna here and say that I don't have a problem with this. After all, don't you think it already goes on, just not in an organized fashion? If these agencies are truly going to focus on terrorism then I don't see what the concern is.
My small subdivison has a neighborhood watch program. We look out for each other and report any suspcious cars or people in the area. Isn't that basically what the government is suggesting we do? Also, the whole racial profiling getting a bum rap... hello, our country was ATTACKED! If the perps were short, stocky women in their forties with blonde curly hair I wouldn't mind being pulled over and asked questions. I could understand being yanked out of line at the airport and having my luggage inspected. I'm sorry I don't fit the profile of the criminals, but is that MY fault? Arab Americans, and I know there are plenty of them who are law abiding, need to look to their countrymen in the Middle East and point the finger there, not here. Whoah! Look out I'm on my soap box now! Too bad I missed Speakers Corner in Hyde Park. Of course I may have been apt to say something bad about the Royals and that would land me square at Traitor's Gate now wouldn't it? Sue n.p.
