Re: The war on terror isn\'t limited to abroad
@Chengiz: Well, I am very relieved to hear that the current laws aren't being abused where you work, but you would have to admit that the potential for abuse is there if someone wanted to abuse it. Plus, even though you seem to be a very competent man when it comes to doing things using good common sense, there are a lot of idiots out there that are also in law enforcement that do a lot of harm, especially when coupled with stupid and/or ambiguous laws.
For instance, there was a town that I couldn't go to for many years just because a bully from my senior year in high school later became a police officer there and he had it out for me (as well as many others) and he made it clear that he would use anything in the law to torment me and ruin my life. Well, if I had driven through there with a lithium flashlight and some cold medicine, well, you get the idea. The way the law currently is, there is just very much potential for abuse.
