Why not get a warrant for all people who have searched for the term "railway" in 2016 because they might be terrorists?
And then just add those people to a list of people who should be watched closely at transportation centers.
And then maybe make them wear a little orange circle on their jackets so they are easier to identify.
And then maybe put them all in a concentrated containment area so the rest of us were safe from all the would-be terrorists?
Or maybe at that point filter it down to just the orange-circles who happen to be from germany.
- mulmen 10y agoThis is exactly the kind of alarmist hyperbole that concerns me in these conversations.
- rhizome 10y agoIt's a personal value judgment whether you think the camel's nose is a problem. The facts remain, however, since once the police get this list, they're going to ask for more search queries from the people on the list, because it's easier to create a defendant that way.
- Steeeve 10y agoThis is exactly the kind of subpoena that people have been concerned about. Everyone who searched for "Douglas". Please. There's nothing reasonable about that.
