Glad I'm not American.

Worried that the UK is going to be too complacent and allow the same thing to happen there too.
What? Search based on suspicion? There has not been any change that I am aware of, could you elaborate? No, police just can't walk up to you in public and demand to search you, doesn't work like that. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying though. Kidnapping and imprisoning people? Examples please, specific examples please? Economy? Yeah, by the way, tickets to the Super Bowl starting at $2000 and on up, hotel rooms for thousands, I personally am better off financially than I ever have been, and so are most of the people that I know. On average, people in America that are considered under the poverty line have 2 televisions in the home, cable, internet, and 2 vehicles. So I guess perspective would be important to have too in this conversation.
