"The time has come to arm campus safety officers at Northwest Missouri State University," president Dean Hubbard says. "I wasn't interested until now," he said.

"We don't want or need firearms to police our students, but to protect them against people coming on campus. It just makes sense." |

It also exposes an alleged plot ginned up by former Philippine president Fidel Ramos to manipulate Abu Sayyaf as a means of enhancing his personal political power." |

"At issue in the case, which will be argued Tuesday, is how police should approach travelers to question or search them, and whether officers are obligated to tell people they have a constitutional right to refuse to cooperate."
"The Bush administration argues that what's at stake ... expected by July, is whether police will be deprived of an essential crime-fighting tool -- consensual search -- just when they need it most to protect public transportation from terrorist attacks." |

"I certainly haven't had the likes of Charles Schumer, Dennis Hennigan, Diane Feinstein, Sarah Brady, or your local newspaper editors beating down the door to reserve their place in a GunFree camp."
"The reason the hoplophobic politicians and lobbyists didn't write is because they don't want to live in a gun-free surrounding. They want to keep their guns. They just don't want the loot-producing serfs to have them." |

"U.S. drug laws have done far more to empower terrorists than Bush & Co. would like to admit. Drug laws are far more effective at putting profit into narcotics than law enforcement is at taking the profit out."
"Government prohibitions make drug trafficking far more risky and far more profitable than it would otherwise be. The only reason that opium is more profitable for terrorists than beer is that the United States and other governments prohibit opium while tolerating beer." |

"It is my hope that Americans in every county in the country will converge upon their courthouses and use The Weidner Method to fight any kind of case. Throughout my 20 years of research about government corruption The Weidner Method is the first solution I have ever encountered. If nothing else, it will expose duplicity and make the entire community aware of it, a necessary first step." |

by U.S. Rep. John Hostettler: "The authority to implement the law lies with Undersecretary of Transportation for Security John Magaw. I hope he will act quickly. Congress, pilots, and, most importantly, the American people support pilots carrying firearms. The terrorists, I expect, do not." |

"Although watching fictional violence does not mean a person will commit violent acts ... repeated exposure can lead to greater fear, desensitization, misogyny and many other problems." |

"By learning behaviour patterns, computers could soon alert police when an unmanned camera sees 'suspicious' activity."
"It works by examining images coming in from close circuit television cameras (CCTV) and comparing them to behaviour patterns that have already programmed into its memory.
"The software, called Cromatica, can then mathematically work out what is likely to happen next. And if it is likely to be a crime it can send a warning signal to a security guard or police officer." |

"For more than 18 months, investigators pointed to the handle of a Modesto SWAT officer's knife as the likely cause of the shotgun blast that killed 11-year-old Alberto Sepulveda."
"Paul M. Dougherty, president of DWM Laboratory Inc., believes it's more likely the knob on officer David Hawn's radio control box caught the trigger of his 12-gauge shotgun. Both the knife and the radio were hooked to the front of Hawn's vest. Hawns shotgun was pointed at the boy's back." |

"POLICE Minister Michael Costa has called on the courts to jail anyone caught on the streets of Sydney with an illegal handgun. Mr Costa said gun-running was now more profitable than drug trafficking on the streets of Sydney."
"Criminal gangs are buying the guns for $200 each and then selling them for up to $5000," he said. "Where there is a mark-up like that, people will always take a risk." "Handguns are a menace -- we can't have juvenile fights turning into gun battles in the streets." |

The Computers Freedom & Privacy conference has "morphed into an event where participants' worst surveillance nightmares may be poised to come true following the terrorist attacks."
They point to the Patriot Act, "which gives law enforcement unprecedented power to monitor citizens' habits -- including Web and email use."
"Speakers worried that law enforcement agencies could rush to implement technology that's ineffective and invasive -- and that the tech industry would help them." |
