It is here! Obama will not change or stop these kinds of tactics. We have a one party state that answers to no one.
It seems as if we are helpless against the giant police state. Our elected officials are only concerned with their legacy as a politician than working on behalf of the people. I've have tried to address this issue with my local congress people. They have no interest at all. They just bring up 9/11 and the discussion ends . I agree, we are conditioned to accept the police state. Through media and dramatical television such as SWAT and others popping up every week. The media uses its power to put the police in a favorable position in the public mind. I've even talked to my local PD and most of them want the power to search without any probable cause because of terrorism.
This is just the beginning. There are a larger group of younger cadets graduating from the police academy, That are from the 9/11 generation. Thirsty for the same authoritarian principals that Cheney has acquired in the past 7 years.
