1. We will need a police state too

if we are going to continue to effectively exploit the third world.

[whatever4]

2. Yes, that would have prevented the bombings

fingerprints? Sure.

Security at any price

May I see your papers, your id badge and gee, you're kinda cute, come over here so I can look at your papers better. I said come over here. Now. You have to. Abuses of power, silly example, NEVER happen.

It's not as if paramilitary forces are intimidating or anything.

And with their arms restrictions, there should be NO worries with having armed troops around. All the time. Like in Iraq. Everywhere.

Security at any price.

Okay, last question; where to run? What country to flee to, when the US falls down to it's logical conclusion of police state. We already have more prisoners than any other nation; this country won't BLINK AN EYE when it happens here. And it will. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/11/AR2005071101282_pf.html

Where to go? Which nation?? Is there anywhere to run?

3. No

Fuck that. Let them try, I don't think it will fly.

4. Won't get anywhere thankfully

European-wide laws tend to be more protective of civil liberties than national laws.

Whilst Labour might be able to get away with having the UK fingerprinted they have no chance in convincing every country in the EU that it is a good idea.

5. Excellent Idea. Will nab evil criminals too.

6. The political ones?

I doubt it.

7. Every little bit helps. They go lucky. They may ot always be so lucky.

Seems they arrested a few others - who didn't blow themselves up. Who knows. But they were ready to take the fingerprints off every single ticket stub. If that is the way they would have had to go - how would they have found out who the shitheads were if they didn't already have fingerprints on file?

9. The bombers in London left lots of ID at the scene, they wanted to be

identified. The glory of being a martyr etc, and as an inspiration to other nutcases.

Fingerprinting every man, woman and child in the country is not a society in which i would wish to live.

They say the terrorists want to destroy our societies. Leave it to the politicians and they'll make a pretty good fucking job of it.

They might as well go the whole way and put a chip under everyones skin.

8. ah, they are charming europeans into drinking the kool aid

fighting back can be a life saving option
