"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Feds Label Bulk Buying of Food a Potential Terrorist Activity
And to think I've been saving my grocery receipts for years now – in paranoid mode in case I have to prove I'm a good parent. I would have handed them the evidence they needed to prove me a terror suspect able to be locked away without charges or trial forever, 'cause I've been an avid bulk food buyer for years, ha ha ha. I look at the evolution of the defining qualities of a potential terrorist, and as more and more of them apply to me, it makes it increasingly clear to me that it is just deception, a ruse, a tool to obtain power on the part of the government, just a part of the process of stripping away as many of our rights as possible.

Absolutely! Those in power are trying to give validity to what they are doing, so as not to stampede the herd.
"Disagreeing with anything we say or do is terrorism", is what it is slowly(?) coming down to.
Why, of course, buying bulk foods to increase the probability of surviving a terrorist attack, is a "potential terrorist activity". Round and round we go, and where we stop, nobody knows.
