Administration Goes into Lockdown, to Spread Fear

Streets around the White House and other Federal Buildings in DC are being closed off, and cars are being searched if they approach.

Why? What intelligence tells us that there is a new threat there? None, apparently -- there was no specific threat to the capitol, according to security associated with the shut-down.

Justification given by DC police chief Tarrance Grainer: "By golly, it is inconvenient to people. It would have been inconvenient to people in August 2001 to increase security at the airport. But if we had done that, two airplanes wouldn't have flown into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon."

In other words, because Al Qaeda is out there, and they re-visit targets and use car bombs, they are going into lock-down security.

This cases more fear and dread in the population than actual security -- Americans should not choose to live in a police state.
