Bennett calls such fears unfounded. If confronted by a federal agent, he said, all anyone has to do is "be friendly, be straightforward and answer their questions." And above all, watch your mannerisms.

I've been questioned by border patrol three times in my life besides the times I went through the border ports and those INS highway stops --- I didn't have to show papers, they aren't rude, they just ask you some questions and they can tell if you're foreign or not. If you are foreign, you might have to produce papers --- hopefully your papers are in order.

I'm sorry but all freedom-loving people should first ask every law enforcement agent to supply a supportable reason for a request for ID.

Freedom means freedom from intrusion, to the greatest degree possible, not just to the limit of law enforcement resources to intrude.

If it's a "war," declare a war. If we must suspend our rights let's suspecnd them for a limited period. But a surveillancve state is not worth defending.
