So let me get this straight...

If you are pregnant, have a newborn baby that you push around in a baby carriage, bathe frequently, use perfume, shave your legs, become surly in crowds, feel superior to others and let them know it, but tend not to show obvious emotion on your face, which is pale from recently shaving your beard, and take drugs which make you appear to be in a trance, you may want to send your husband out to do the shopping for a while.

I'm sure the millions of people who fit this description to a tee are outraged, simply outraged at this obvious profiling of them.

Paging Mr. Cochran, Mr. Johnny Cochran...

The "dark side" of me wonders if this is not an effort to stretch the probable cause for terrorism arrests to jolly well about everybody. Either that, or the work of some Federal office pinhead who thinks he is a genius.

You know, I recall three years ago, Art Bell's crowd freaking over US Army excercises in "Urban Training"...fighting in urban environments...because it was a sure sign we were preparing to fight Clinton's Apocholypse against US civilians. And that it turned out more that we were preparing to fight in urban cities in Iraq and Iran. Time will tell in all things...

Swords cut both ways, don't they? It just depends on who wields it on how it is used.

"Although right wing extremists have not carried out a major terrorist attack in recent years," the bulletin says, "they continue to engage in nationwide recruitment, organization and, in some cases, paramilitary training."

The so-called militias were formed in response to Bubba's crimes. Why would they attack at all? Anyway, OKC bombing was orchestrated by the Iraqis, not the so-called militias. Bubba used the OKC bombing to score political points against Conservatives.

I have lived behind the Iron Curtain.

No the US is in no way shape or form a police state.

"Not until I take my can of Ragu and hit the lady in front of me over the head with it"

Hey! Ragu comes in a jar not a can and if you were a real American you'd know that. You MUST be a terrorist!

[Publicus]

L-O-L!!!!

Other bulletins are disturbing.

Why is blatant left-wing opinion in the middle of a NEWS article?

Oh, right, it's a US newspaper.

"Although right wing extremists have not carried out a major terrorist attack in recent years," the bulletin says, "they continue to engage in nationwide recruitment, organization and, in some cases, paramilitary training."

DING! DING! DING! Liberal hit piece alert!
