Bloomberg Plots Surprise Suspension of 4th Amendment

As New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg explained it, safety officers will use mobile scanners starting this spring, allowing them to make unannounced visits to city middle and high schools to check for weapons.

Students will be asked to go through detectors similar to those used in airports.

"Our reasons for doing this couldn't be clearer or more compelling," said Bloomberg. "We have zero tolerance for weapons of any kind in city schools."
Plus, our desire to indoctrinate them into the mindset of being inmates instead of citizens couldn't be more clear and compelling, either.

Any bets Mikey's taxpayer-funded bodyguards observe his zero tolerance policy when he visits a stalag...I mean...campus?

Conditioning towards a full-blown police state. We need to find the way to back ourselves out of this - before it's to late.

More and more it seems as if we are getting worse than the tyranny that caused the founders to revolt.

We're WAY PAST that point, E. David. We threw tea overboard over a 1.5% tax in 1774, but look what we tolerate from our government now. I hold no hope of ever being free again. The Republic is dead.
