I just get really, really fed up with people saying that we are 'turning into a police state!' Sorry, but during every major war the U.S. has been in, various civil rights have been suspended and returned later. That's just wartime. East Germany was a police state. The Soviet Union was a police state. North Korea is a police state. China is a police state. The United States is not even vaguely close.
