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.
Many of them had expired visas but if we're not going to do anything about illegal immigrants/entrants anyway how is this going to help?
