Warrants Work

While I'm far from being the first person to mention this, I would like to.

The Brits who cracked that bombing plot applied for and complied with warrants every step of the way.

The investigation started with a tip: a worried Muslim Briton called the police. Months of urveillance, wire-taps, and infiltration of suspects followed. Warrants were obtained all the way. And finally arrests were made, and no planes blew up.

Extraordinary and unconstitutional methods are actually not necessary at all.

And just one last time: that straw dog won't hunt. Nobody's against necessary surveillance. Just illegal surveillance.
