The feds, especially the alphabet-souper oinksters, have gone totally bonkers, over the top, kookoo-for-coco-puffs nutzoid skitzoid paranoid hemmeroid insane. Everybody who has an opinion on anything or who blogs or is willing to stand around with a picket sign is a threat to national security. Read their own training manuals as to what are the possible signs of a terrorist ... has some roadmaps in his car, has a cellphone, has some emergency gear in his car, wears dungarees, tries to blend in, etc, etc, etc. The only people who are not seen as potential terrorists are beersoaked braindead football watching zombies. They have even investigated groups that advocate more bicycle riding and more bicycle lanes or who exercise their right of assembly to go on bicycle rides on Saturday mornings. They will even infiltrate such groups. They do this as both a training exercise and to "pick up chatter" which is to learn what people are discussing. If it is anything besides draft picks, soap operas, what fishing lure to use, or what beer to drink they start getting very concerned, especially if they are discussing issues of any significance. It is absolutely mindblowingly sick.
