By the way, what would you think if a spot check caught a terrorist with a bomb? Would you still think his civil rights had been violated, as long as he hadn't detonated it (yet)?

There wasn't much judgement shown in the application of the SUS laws in the 70s. The result. Widespread civil disorder. Nice tactic!
What would you think if a terrorist attack took place because of the ill thought through, indiscrimate and ineffective policing methods used?
