This is outrageous

Thanks Jim for sending this my way from papers please and verified in the Denver Post

One morning in late September 2005, Deb was riding the public bus to work. She was minding her own business, reading a book and planning for work, when a security guard got on this public bus and demanded that every passenger show their ID. Deb, having done nothing wrong, declined. The guard called in federal cops, and she was arrested and charged with federal criminal misdemeanors after refusing to show ID on demand.

On the 9th of December 2005, Deborah Davis will be arraigned in U.S. District Court in a case that will determine whether Deb and the rest of us live in a free society, or in a country where we must show "papers" whenever a cop demands them.

This just goes to show how misdirected our law enforcement professionals have become in their efforts to defeat terrorism and make the homeland more secure based upon the direction they are receiving from the highest reachest of the executive branch of the federal government.
