Boy scout terrorists

Wulk said:

A troop of boy scouts, travelling from Canada to Alaska, were held for 4 hours by US border patrol agents.

One of the scouts took a photograph of the agents, his camera was confiscated and he was threatened with a $10k fine, and up to 10 years in jail. Another scout was threatened at gun point by one of the agents.

It sure must be a hazardous duty guarding that Alaskan/Canadian border, all those terrorists flooding through looking to infest Alaskan beaches. Maybe midget terrorists.

Madness.

Too many folks out there in positions of authority, that just aren't up to job. What's worse than these incidents, is that these agencies are failing to police their own; if these agents get any type of reprimand for this, it will be because of the bad press, and not because of their lack of professionalism.

Whenever an infant, octogenarian, disabled, or....Boy Scout gets rousted by this agent or that, some people take umbrage.

But, if I were a ne'er-do-well, I'd consider doing my dirty deed under cover of a an infant, octogenarian, disabled, or....Boy Scout.

Yes, that's why your friends in Hamas keep their soldiers and weapons cached in hospitals, children's shelters, old age homes and schools.
