Part of the problem is the “gold rush” for homeland security funds. States that don’t have actual terrorists still need somebody to target to justify that funding. The county in Georgia I moved out of a couple of years ago was so desperate for their federal swat vehicles and training funds they spent a lot of time and money placing vegetarians under surveillance.

Amen! I have just recently noticed the cops in my small SC town (pop.5,840) parading around town in a van all decked out with "Special Response Team" all over it.

I'm starting to fear for my dog's life.
