Not to sound like some anarchist hiding out in the hills, that link lead to some remarkable vids. I just spent an hour perusing and zooming through the Anderson deal, the military guy detained, et al.

We rolled across the US/CDA border at 4 points on our trip last summer, and in hindsight it struck me that the initial questioner was overly dramatic, obtuse and pretty freakin nosey, imo. We got sent to 'secondary' once, but they decided to not dig through the trunk of the Vette too much. Wish I had had vid of those initial questioning techniques that we encountered, but not sure I have/would have had the ballz to stonewall them...

I hope there aren't a few paragraphs buried in the hardly patriotic 'Patriot Act' that covers this kind of gestapo bs, at border crossings or at checkpoints.

From the bunker...

Careful with the use of "gestapo" around here. You could get accused
of "spewing"...:stickpoke

hehehe... Gestapo - is way too mild in comparasion... how about NKVD? not as much known entity but it managed to crack the die hard people that withstood the basements of tsarist secret service, keeping their mouth shut and were chatty like a 12-year girls in the hands of NKVD (Oprichna, ChK, NKVD, MVD, KGB, FSB... the names kept changing, the methods were the same)...

When the government representatives have unchallenged authority and are able to suppress the population - we are in the police society... The "Minority Report" comes to mind... when a thought of a crime can be criminalized and then punished... that reminds me of the Good Ol' Soviet times, when a political joke about PolitBuro members could land a person in jail...

gee, i'd better shut up, before the guardians of the free society muzzle me!!!
