Stop and Frisk

But to the TSA.....the problem isn't its existence, but rather how its run.

I am not sure if you have seen this, but I think you would enjoy it.

When we last went thru TSA, they didn't find Mrs Revolt's knife (which she forgot to put in checked luggage).
These are people who do mind numbing work, but are unable to find a good job elsewhere, ie, the bottom of the barrel.

I used to work for the National Park Service when I was in college. Once I was done with school, the funding for my position was gone. I was trying to get back into the gov't work anyway I can. Anywho, I applied to the TSA, got a call back 10 minutes later. They needed people but it was temp gigs and I wanted something with more, ahem, security.

You would'a been one of those TSA goons?
Nah....you'd never last.
Co-workers would make fun of hour triple digit IQ or
your put'n on airs by flaunt'n that high school diploma!

I'm trying to cite some stats from memory, which is quite a challenge for me at my age, but in NYC, 51% of those being stopped w/o being charged were black and around 30% were Hispanics. Also, black with suits on were far less likely to be stopped and frisked than those with more casual clothing, but I don't think I heard the stat on that.

Years ago I used to cart my sister around with her young son in my car. At first i thought it was a inconvenience strapping the kid in a baby seat. Then it dawned on me, having a baby seat in a car is a good thing. I would deliberately leave the baby seat in the car, with or without the kid. Oh, I drove a station wagon too. There is no way in hell a cop is going to pull over a guy driving a station wagon with a car seat. To bad I didn't have a puppy.

You didn't get pulled over because that car is butt-ugly!

That was the style back then. They were the SUVs of the 70s. It was about 12 years old when I bought it. When I went shopping for a car my father said to me, "Rog, they don't make those $200 cars any more." Low and behold I was able to find one.

Or was it the driver that was "butt-ugly"?

Is there any data to support this? I mean, this idea seems ridiculous to me but, anyway. Thoughts? Concerns?

No, Stop-and-Frisk Didn't Work 'Incredibly Well'

And Trump severely lost that part of the debate against Clinton, Trump being ignorant(or misinformed?) that it has been deemed unconstitutional.

Just the tip of the iceberg on how wrong Trump was durnig the debate.
