For example, a group of officers might surround a downtown bank building, checking the identification of each person going in and out and handing out leaflets about terror threats

Geez, wouldn't a Mosque be a more logical location for this type activity?

Random, high-profile security operations will keep terrorists guessing about where police might be next, he said. For example, a group of officers might surround a downtown bank building, checking the identification of each person going in and out and handing out leaflets about terror threats.

Oh boy. Not good.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't many of the 9/11 hijackers in the country legally with proper identification? Besides turning the place into a police state, what the hell good is stopping random people on the street and demanding to see their "papers" going to accomplish? This just absolutely reeks. If the government wants to get serious about terrorists who have entered the country then SHUT DOWN THE DAMN BORDERS already. I forgot that is not very PC though, but apparently this garbage is.

It sounds more like this is aimed at shall-we-say the kind of violators that might have "forfeitable" items on their persons. It's also, as others have pointed out, a convenient excuse to try out police state tactics.

Come to Miami and feel the joy of being harassed by a army of thuggish bureaucrats.

"Your papers, please!" Looks like the Gestapo has found a new home in Florida. This is a disgrace.

Will they teach the officers a little German?

It sounds so much better in the original language.

Deine Papieren, bitte.

This is one of the more idiotic things I've seen lately.
What part of "Police State" do these Howard Mitty Special Forces Wannabes understand?
