Police stops draw concerns
Antiterrorism strategy is questioned by ACLU

By Rick Klein, Globe Staff, 11/29/2003

Sometimes it's someone who's lingering a bit too long near baggage claim. Maybe it's a passenger whose eyes dart away when she sees a state trooper. Or perhaps it's more peculiar behavior, like a man wearing a buttoned-up trenchcoat in the middle of summer, or traveling overseas with no luggage.

State Police stationed at Logan International Airport have been trained to look for such signals, and have led the way nationally in using "behavioral pattern recognition" to stop and question people who are acting strangely at the airport.

I wonder how many members of the ACLU were on those 2 airplanes that crashed into the WTC on Sept 11th 2001? I wonder how many ACLU members were at the WTC, Pentagon or in PA that day or on the other 2 planes that crashed? Probably not many if any at all. Remember, those 3,000+ people actually worked for a living.

If this behavior analysis was being used prior to 9-11-01, this tragedy of monumental proportions not seen since Pearl Harbor, may have been avoided.

Then again if Herr Klinton wasn't stuffing his boxers back into his pants and wagging his finger at us saying. "I did not have sexual ......................" and was actually running this country, this may not have happened either.

Basic facts. The CIA, DIA and a host of other Cold War agencies who's job it was to have feelers out there and agents in the field gathering intelligence were either eliminated or their funding was severely cut. No intelligence capabilities means we were ripe for this to happen.

Screw the ACLU, screw the Globe for printing that crap and screw Osama & Saddamm. I suppose if either of those 2 characters walked through Terminal C with a bomb strapped to their midsection the ACLU would scream bloody murder if a Trooper approached to conduct an FIO. I only hope the 2 of them would be on the way to ACLU HQ to shut them the hell up!! :BM:

I agree 100%, Clinton's crippling budget cuts have had such horrible ramifications on this country...more than we'll probably ever fully realize.

ACLU = Double Standard hypocrites.

When it comes to them (ACLU) you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Unbelieveable.

Housingcop said it best!

>>"Still, Reinstein said anecdotal evidence has come to the ACLU suggesting that state troopers at Logan have overstepped their bounds."

Anybody here been into court with "anecdotal evidence" lately? :roll:

Get that guy a crying towel!

I must agree with masstroopers1. That was my thought exactly.

I love how the ACLU is all about making accusations based on "anectodal" evidence. I've also heard "anectodal" evidence that Elvis is alive, bigfoot walks the earth, and Michael Jackson has never once had plastic surgery.

Anectodal=Hearsay=Malarchy :evil:

THE ACLU WILL NOT STOP UNTILL THE HANDS OF ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ARE TIED FIRMLY BEHIND THEIR BACKS. AND THE CRIMINALS ARE FREE TO GO ABOUT THIER BUISNESS.
NICELY PUT HOUSING COP!
