Of course I would imagine if you were a middle eastern male between the ages of 18 and 40 with a " I Love Osoma tee shirt" on, they would probably let you through.

I know you were joking, but in some parts of this country, they probably would! Political correctness rules the day.

Like I said before in this thread, we really have to catch these guys red-handed or within a few minutes of the attack. Or...through some old-fashioned detective legwork. (I assume they are doing that now.) But we can't just stop white vans all day long willy-nilly and pull guns on everybody. We have a Constitution in this country that protects the citizens from unlawful search and seizure. If all law enforcement has to go on is a "white van" then that's just not good enough. They need to dig a little deeper. Sorry, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

BTW, I personally believe that law enforcement knows a lot more about who might be carrying out these attacks then they let on. At least, I certainly hope so.

Cincinatus' Wife: This morning we saw a driver sitting cuffed in the median today on U.S. 29 near Burtonsville, MD. Two cruisers had pulled him over and the police were looking over his white panel van with ladders on roof racks.

Looks like she just made your point, the Constitution is just a piece of paper these days, wait until this breaks out across the country and see what happens to our rights, and the sheep here will Amen it.

So they just enjoy wasting their time on roadblocks holding the innocent citizenry? - Why on earth are they doing these roadblocks after these shootings if they know anything more about who is carrying out these attacks than they "let on"?

At least, I certainly hope so.

I wish. I do wish them luck though.
