Miami police take new tack against terror


"Miami police announced Monday they will stage random shows of force at hotels, banks and other public places to keep terrorists guessing and remind people to be vigilant."

"Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said officers might, for example, surround a bank building, check the IDs of everyone going in and out and hand out leaflets about terror threats."

"This is an in-your-face type of strategy. It's letting the terrorists know we are out there," Fernandez said."


Looks to me like they feel we aren't terror striken enough, so they're going to act like there's some imminent threat to keep us in fear. Doesn't it seem like we're allowing the authorities to produce and perpetuate a constant state of fear and apprehension, that is supposed to be the goal of the terrorist? If they continue to instill fear, we will continue to bestow on them more and more Police State powers, so they can 'make us safe'. Remember, this so-called War on Terror is open-ended, and meant to last well into the distant future.

Here's a link to a previous post that will show what happens if you stand up for your rights as a free citizen, and I'm hoping that the case of the United States vs. Deborah Davis will reverse the trend that enables the authorities to treat everyone like criminals, with absolutely no cause, other than to pretend to scare away terrorists.
