Those Who Give Up Their Liberty for Security...

Here's a chilling story from last month. This is what happens when people get too paranoid about terrorism and not paranoid enough about things like the Patriot Act. David Mery was getting on a subway after work, wearing a rain jacket, carrying a bag with a laptop in it and checking his cell phone. He was arrested as a terrorist suspect "or suspicious behaviour and public nuisance" and kept until 4:30 the next morning. Crazy.
