Just another reason not to shop at Walmart.

I liked this comment: "Attention Wal-Mart shoppers, we are at war with Eurasia, we have never been at war with Eastasia...."

Dammit, we need a new battery for SWMBO's car. Now I have to decide whether my outrage is worth $20.:frown:

No, I'm guessing it would be next door to where I live.

pffft.

The CNN story didn't have all the hyperventilating and juicy lip licking about guns in it. You'd better expand your boycott net too:

The program has already partnered with the Mall of America, the American Hotel & Lodging Association, Amtrak, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, sports and general aviation industries, and other organizations across the country, DHS said.

Encourage all of your friends to participate. If someone furtively, meaning you didn't see what it was, puts something into the trunk, report it. If somebody speaks quietly into a cellphone, that's suspicious, nobody does that. And so on, and on, and...

There's something very Orwellian about all this.

Some guy just parked a van full of big barrels connected to each other with wires and reeking of diesel in my city's living room, intending to blow a bunch of people to their maker.
It's not a bad idea to be observant.

Mind you, I don't want the Walmart people watching me. They'd probably report me to the House UnAmerican Committee for having frizzy hair or wearing Birkenstocks.

Metro-North Railroad is also a part of "If you see something; say something" scheme.

One evening on the way home I took a seat in the seating area that seats face each other. The seat in front of me had a full backpack under the seat pushed up against the wall.

I told the conductor and she said "Its nothing. People leave them behind all the time" and walked away.

Walking across the local campus one night, about 7pm. 2 campus cops stop me & another guy & ask if we know anything about the bomb threat called into one of the buildings.
Me: Nope, no idea
Cop: Ok, thanks..
Me: Er, why aren't you evacuating the building?
Cop: Well the classes in there end at 9pm & we don't want to disturb them before we search the building...
Me: You do realise it's just after 7pm?
Cop: Yes.
Me: Then you better hope that if there is a bomb it has at least 2 hour timer on it..
Cop: huh?

Re: Walmart...
 

It's called a threat assessment. What would you do every time there is a bomb threat. Evacuate. Then the intelligentsia who always know best, but never ever have to make the call, would ridicule you when nothing happened.

Try doing a threat assessment on a fully loaded 747 about to depart. That will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand out.
