Now let's see if this is more pleasing to the pallet, it should be taking into account that it circles round, the 'unlawful' arrest of a Guardian journalist's partner, by the dreaded British police, most likely at the request of US National Security Agency and wait a minute Mr Miranda also happens to be Brazilian, so we also have the racist element thrown in.
Yes this should start off a debate surely.

Am I alone in detecting a bit of pack mentality developing when it comes to answering the questions asked by Mr Git? The offhand, pissy attitude in some replies is starting to get a bit wearying.

"According to a document published by the UK government about Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, "fewer than 3 people in every 10,000 are examined as they pass through UK borders" (David was not entering the UK but only transiting through to Rio). Moreover, "most examinations, over 97%, last under an hour." An appendix to that document states that only .06% of all people detained are kept for more than 6 hours."
So yes, it does seem to be a bit of over the top heavy handed intimidation.
