There does seem to be A LOT more of this shit going on lately in America. Between whats in this thread already, the link (i think Dent) posted about the pastor getting arrested at the border, hell, even this little gem a few months ago:
I will admit i'm slightly worried, although I wouldn't blame it just on "America" as much as the world as a whole. I'm sure Dent can speak more on the same kind of bullshit going on in the UK, who I believe has the most CCTV cameras in the world. You may not see much of this affecting you, GWB. Ah what happened to the GWB who used to jump out of windows during lunch hour and make snow angels...
