Feds Focus on Detecting Bombs
More fear mongering propaganda, as there are a few little rights remaining to be snatched up. ?The Homeland Security Department is developing camera systems, chemical sensors and other technologies to detect improvised explosive devices (IEDs), a threat government officials warn is growing in the nation's big cities....Walker says department officials are increasingly concerned about the 'threat coming to our own shores' from abroad and are working fast to determine 'how can we thwart this threat in our urban areas.'...'Iraq has been an invaluable battle lab for the terrorists,' says Randall Larsen of the Institute for Homeland Security. 'We should expect to see these extraordinarily lethal devices in future attacks ? not necessarily against traditional targets, such as subways, trains and buses, but against hardened targets such as VIP limousines'." Nice of Mr. George ?More Than A Million Iraqis Dead? Bush to provide the lab and inspire such creativity, eh? VIP limousines? Oooo, the horror...Americans just won't stand for that... protect potential paparazzi drunken pop-tartlet crotch shots now, as well as the ruling class we all hold so dear, demand cameras to watch your every move. Don't worry, the CIA will help....
