Did I post the link to the New Orleans Times-Picayune article about the mayor of that city turning over everything to the office of Homeland Security? New Orleans is now being run by the Feds. And they are holding seminars right now training other area cops and city officials on how to behave in the future.

One consequence of this is that (heard this on the radio earlier, and I'm sure it'll be verified in print later), the police in Cedar Park, TX are now wearing black ski masks on the side of the road. Interstate Highway 35...just north of Austin, TX. Cops just standing around in areas of maximum traffic, getting the public used to the sight of men in black ski masks. And they've taped over their badge numbers with little 'stick ems' that say 'BAD BOY'. One of the cops said that's what they learned in New Orleans.

And you're concerned about privacy? The reason for the ski masks is so foreign troops can be inserted covertly...so we won't be able to identify tell-tale racial facial features. How do you think they're going to lock down all public schools, fight off the attacks by armed parents, post guards in all U.S. factories, seal off all cities within two hours, etc., etc., etc.? The foreign troops are here, and now we won't be able to recognize them in their ski masks.

So yeah...my 'security' on this freakin' machine is HIGH on my list of priorities right now.
