As the nation again stands on high alert, the FBI is searching for six men stopped by police in the Midwest last weekend but released — even though they possessed photographs and descriptions of a nuclear power plant in Florida and the Trans-Alaska pipeline . . .

I swear I will never make fun of the idiocy of law enforcement officers in other nations. This is starting to sound like that scene in "Airplane" where the group of hijackers with guns and rocket launchers is allowed on the plane without any questions but the security guards rough up a little old lady when she sets off the metal detector.

Just a question to ponder: to each person reading this thread, how confident do you feel that the law enforcement community in your area is realistically capable of protecting you and yours? What about the Federal government?

Oh, it's much worse than that, here in Barney-Fife-Land.

Georgia Sheriff's deputies stop a "Middle Eastern" Clymer who is driving erratically enough to force them from the road.Excellent police work there.

Step 2: ID: Guy has several PASSPORTS, SEVERAL LICENSES, SEVERAL SS CARDS, THOUSANDS IN CASH, RECEIPTS FOR WIRE TRANSFERS OF $10,000 or more to ISLAMIC COUNTRIES. Guy says he's "going to work" at a restaurant? In a town 4 hours away? OBTW, no registration or proof of Insurance.

Step 3: Call for Back-up. Excellent Police Procedure there. Sheriff (aka 'hisself') arrives. They order the guy to DRIVE HIS OWN CAR AND FOLLOW THEM TO THE COURTHOUSE! Idiots.

Step 4: They call the FBI. No answer. They Photograph the geek, Fingerprint him. They call the FBI again. They don't seem to be very interested. More idiots.

Step 5: They charge the guy with using false ID, fine him, write him a ticket, AND LET THE MURDERING MUSLIM SOB GO!

They have NO IDEA who he is. They have NO IDEA where he is going.They DID NOT SEARCH the car, never mind impound it. They did not HOLD the man for questioning. THEY LET HIM GO!

This kind of police work would have been unpardonable before September 11. Now it is nothing short of national suicide.
