ok, this is it. goodbye, united states of america. you are no longer a country in which i feel welcome.

homeland security plans to eventually tag all non-citizens with the same sort of electronic anklets that criminals under house arrest now wear, if they like the results from their pilot studies.

the pilot studies are bad enough because they are treating people who have not committed any crime like criminals. and why? because the department of homeland security can't put its own house in order, it seems, at least on the surface.

fucking shrubtards. way to turn a pretty nice country into a police state. terrorists don't scare me half as much.

[edit: i am trying to find something other than the audio program that talks in more detail, and with sources, about the ongoing pilot programs. they seem to be restricted to immigrant aliens who would otherwise be detained in prison, and i have not seen anything anywhere in writing that would support this single source claiming the DoHS would like to eventually tag all immigrants and immigrant-applicants. lemme know if you find anything. why is this only on NPR so far?]
