DEA

When internal passport controls go into effect, will DHS "Behavior Detection Officers" profile us like DEA does now?

If so, it's very simple to understand the new experiences Americans are about to have in their new, unfree country (internal passports; preventive detention; satellite surveillance; et cetera.)

Just mentally substitute "extremist" for "drug courier," and use the working definition that "extremist" means anybody who wrote the wrong kind of book (or reads it), wears the wrong kind of T-shirt, or has the wrong color of skin--or, with the devilish cunning so typical of extremists, conceals extremism behind a facade of reading the right books, wearing the right T-shirts, and being white.

The great advantage of this approach, from the perspective of teaching the American people how to be ruled, instead of governed, is that any one of us can be stopped for any reason at all at any time.
