German Proposes Tagging Islamic Militants By REUTERS
BERLIN, Dec. 28 (Reuters) - Known Islamic militants should be electronically tagged so their movements could be tracked, a regional German interior minister proposed Wednesday.
"This would allow us to monitor the roughly 3,000 Islamists who are prone to violence, hate-preachers and fighters trained in terrorist camps," the Lower Saxony interior minister, Uwe Schünemann, said in an interview with the newspaper Die Welt.
Mr. Schünemann said electronic tagging was a viable alternative to holding the militants in protective custody, as suggested by the former German interior minister, Otto Schily. Mr. Schünemann was quoted as saying that his proposal would not be against Germany's Constitution.
"It's practical for all Islamists who are prone to violence and who we can't expel to their home countries because they could be tortured," Mr. Schünemann said. Germany's federal and state governments share responsibility for security services.

Tag 'em with a .45 in the skull. That way you'll always know where the are................
RFID? price check on aisle 5. nevermind, he blew up.
Agreed! But let's let Germany find them, tag them, and then share the electronic data with us. That way we'll know where to get them for a date with a 45 and a drink of pig's blood.
(Sometimes I just don't have much compassion!)
I think it's a great idea. Nice little toe tag - while they rest in the morgue!
Catch and Release?
In the Wombat household, we like to catch, fillet and fry.
What's good enough for a catfish is good enough for that other form of bottom-feeder: the Muslim.
That is being compassionate! At least you wouldn't put panties on their heads..........
Nice little toe-tag? Guten Tag!.......
Neuter and spay them too
Now that will get it done!
Although, tagging may bring out the Paranoid Schizophrenic contingent, both there and here, that has always proclaimed that the government has inserted a chip into them.
Perhaps drop a nuke or two on them so that they glow in the dark, too.
Like a broken clock, the Germans finally found a positive use for their totalitarian instincts.
When they did their most recent release of a terrorist, I thought that would be a great idea. Although dollars to donuts they would cut it out or disable it with EMPs or something.
Militants = fighters.
Known militants, then = people known to be violent.
Soooo...if they're known to be violent- which means they have commited violent acts in the past; how else would they be "known"?- why aren't they arrested?
Am I p!ssing against the wind here, or what?
I still remember the last time Germans tagged a group of people. Wasn't a good idea then, still isn't.
What? Like dogs?
