Looks like racial profiling to me. She has no criminal record.

Perhaps you should ask someone who lives under a REAL totalitarian regime if the U.S. is actually that close. Speaking of this one oddball example like it's the SOP in all cases and tossing around the word "totalitarian" when it vastly overstates the situation is simply cavalier. It marginalizes the real meaning of totalitarian.

Point taken, but if you were going to make a list of objective criteria to help identify a totalitarian regime, seizure of assets without due process would be one of the characteristics.

On a somewhat related topic, when people say that this country is somehow more democratic than others, I have to chuckle. Mock elections where 90% of the public is casting votes for safe seats don't make a democracy.

So while things aren't as bad as totalitarianism for most of us, I have to think they are for the person having their assets seized without due process, don't you think?

Default My laugh for the day

"...that's pretty clear evidence the Government likely had probable cause. they probably had a warrant (issued form a judge upon shwoing of probable cause) and had been following her before the flight..."

HAHAHAHAHAHAW.. Thanks for the chuckle.
