I guess if you survive such an attack the up side is that you become a millionaire, in some parts of the world there is no such a liability.

Unfortunately, police in the US open fire - often killing their victims - all the time for no good reason And they almost always get away with it.

I can believe it has for 11 years and change, but 12 years would mean starting 7-8 months before 9/11. Sorry if it seems like I'm splitting hairs, but I don't remember things getting really bad until a few months after 9/11. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com>

Note that the disgustingly-named PATRIOT Act was the wish-list of every federal police(-state) agency. They'd been asking for unwarranted wiretaps and immunity and watch-lists of non-criminal travellers and all the rest for years, but kept getting denied ... until 9/11 made all their wishes come true. -- Neca eos omnes.
