Baltimore was recently ranking one of the most dangerous cities in America. Yet somehow the cops have enough free time to harass this guy. At one point NINE cops were on the scene. It makes me sick that my tax money pays these goons salaries.

1. A woman was arrested in Snohomish county after 9-11 for photographing

hi-power lines along highway 9. It is so ridiculous to overreact in this manner.

2. The terrorists have won

We've given up so much of our freedoms in the name of "safety". What is sad is the comments on the youtube video from people saying "just show your ID! What do you have to hide!". They just dont get it. These thugs should be FIRED, not "retrained". The ACLU has been battling the MTA here for over 5 years about this problem, with no real progress.
