It won't. Unless I make it to.

Law enforcement should follow the law. Enforcing the law is an
important part of democracy. If law enforcement officers go beyond the
law, this is not democracy. You know the difference, but my point is
that in some countries the law is not right - I don't blame the law
enforcement officers (as long as they only enforce the law), but the
law makers. I have issues to take up with those - qand I do it the
democratic way. I don't agree with many of the things happening, but I
do believe that the democratic way is the only legitimate way, at
least in democratic countries (in one of which I am lucky to live).

Don't we have something in common. (That's a full-stop, not a question
mark.)

I still doubt it is secure. <g>
