Duffle Bag Watch: Day 7

One week later, bag searches are still under way. Now it seems that some New Yorkers are looking to allow racial profiling of bag searches.

Meanwhile, 1,500 miles away in Minnesota, they're writing about our unique experiment in suspending the constitution:

"a 35-year-old woman named Eve Holbrook...[had]...a police officer paw through her belongings [gave] her "a sense of comfort," she said. "I went up there of my own free will."

I don't pretend to understand Holbrook's motivation: Did she think she might have accidentally slipped a bomb into her briefcase that morning?"


And we didn't think anyone in the midwest had any sense at all.
