it's always amusing to me when you see someone getting arrested, suddenly they know more about law then any cop or lawyer. it's truly amazing. thing is tho...a lot of people say 'oh, i'm willing to give up some rights'--but which ones? and i'm not. now, in a public place, like i said, how much expectation of privacy can you have? by the same token, i don't want to live where there are cameras on every corner. yes, you want to feel safe from the bad guys. BUT, sometimes govt can be just as dangerous. it's tricky for sure.

I don't live in a city but if I did live in say, NYC, I would feel safer. I think people would think twice before doing something illegal. Then again, maybe that would make more criminals move to my mountain.

Well i'm not sure if you have heard the latest from over here, but it looks like the ringleader behind these attacks was actually a Brain Surgeon, described as a "near genius". All eight that have been arrested have been working in our national health service, most of them as Doctors, which is very worrying indeed.
Some of you were commenting about the speed of response, i'm not so sure. Our guys seem to wait until something has happened before getting into gear. Yesterday we were told that two of the men arrested had been under investigation for terrorism by MI5 for "some time"........ that really doesn't fill us with confidence, the fact they knew they were out there, they were pretty sure they posed a threat, but they waited until after they tried to kill hundreds. Scotland was ready for an attack, they had prior intelligence that something was going to happen, but the way the terrorists struck came as a surprise, i think. Anyway, the terror threat over here has now been lowered from Critical to severe. In London, we have a drunk to thank. If it wasn't for this drunk outside the nightclub, the paramedics wouldn't have gone to the scene and would not have spotted the smoke/vapour coming from the car. It was very lucky. The second was even more lucky, the bomb was not discovered after it had been towed away to an underground compound......... experts have said, the device was a mobile/cell phone device and it couldn't have gone off while being underground as there was no reception to the phone.
