Here in central New York State they have seat belt checks, inspection stickers and hand-held phones all over the place today. Just went to the local supermarket and FIVE State Troopers were checking to see if folks had their seat belts fastened, or whatever. And this in the midst of a high terrorist alert.

And this in the midst of a high terrorist alert.

funny what you can find when looking at seatbelts. you are fortunate - your leos are not just passing time.

Caller to KVI 570 (conservative AM station here in Seattle) said the exact same thing. Terrorists abound and our troopers are asked to be baby sitters. We are now under a "Click it or Ticket" fatwa by the state, $86 fine.
The rep who pushed this through the WA state legislature had a sister that died in a car crash and wasn't wearing a seat belt.
This brings up my questions:
1. your sister is (er was) a dumb butt
2. your sister only does what the loving government tells her to do?
3. I had a cat that ran away. I don't go telling everyone to put their cat on a leash.
4. The Nannystate is breading wimps that can't think for themselves. Just recently we had a crazied student with a knife in a classroom. The only one in the class to stand up against him was a girl. Where were the boys in the class?
5. We're entering a reverse Darwinistic society where only the stupid breed. I think all the motorcycle riders w/o helmet should crash and die, I don't want them to reproduce.

Maybe they are useing the seat belt checks to look for other things.
