WTF are they doing? The cops' job was hard enough before fate dropped the terrorist threat in their collective laps. Now they want the cops to investigate stupid crap like reports of somebody brandishing assault almanacs?
What's next? One map a month? No high capacity map books, with multiple pages? Background check for every fotog snapping pictures of a bridge, tunnel or building? No full auto reference books, that let you turn pages really fast? Students have to get run through NICS everytime they want to buy a schoolbook?
I was pissed when the government decided to build a bureaucracy and exclude the American people from collective preparation, both mentally and physically. They issue terrorist attack warnings, telling nobody what the proper response should be. From there, it has gotten beyond ridiculous into the downright absurd.
I like GWB's international asskicking style. This unmitigated BS makes me think twice about him, however.
