Let me say that you and I are going to get along just fine.
I do hold a dimmer view of my fellow citizen than you.
I live in albuquerque and red flex and the cameras and camera vans enjoy enough support to keep them here.
Most would implant a gps and thought wave scanner into their very skulls to keep a child safe or to save just one life.
(Yes dramatic license in play)
I don’t live in the southwest nor do I have small children (they are older,tho I still worry plenty). If I did live in the southwest, I suspect my attitude might be different regarding childsafety.
It seems both New Mexico and Arizona are under siege. Constitutionally, our government should be protecting the borders—everywhere and especially in the southwest. IMHO they had been doing that, we would not have half the problems we face.
Instead of saying to our citizens (especially our children) that they have to go thru naked scans or get the grope down, Perhaps our government could protect our borders by sending these naked screening machines to other countries insisting that foreign nationals from the middle east get screened prior to entering the US—eh that would be too much like profiling...
