Minneapolis is hosting the Republican National Convention this summer, and that means we're seeing an uptick in sleaze (you might want to avoid public restrooms when these guys are in town). The most bizarre part of it all is that the FBI is looking for villains in all the wrong places.I'm sure the Pentagon is just itching to use this on any dangerous hippies!:What they were looking for, Carroll says, was an informant--someone to show up at "vegan potlucks" throughout the Twin Cities and rub shoulders with RNC protestors, schmoozing his way into their inner circles, then reporting back to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, a partnership between multiple federal agencies and state and local law enforcement. The effort's primary mission, according to the Minneapolis division's website, is to "investigate terrorist acts carried out by groups or organizations which fall within the definition of terrorist groups as set forth in the current United States Attorney General Guidelines."
And I will be interested to see if the FBI has as much concern over keeping the peace for the Democratic National Convention....

They wanted to target republicans too, but they were afraid they would get STALLed at the airport.
Could highly reflective clothing become the new protest fashion?
I strongly suspect that this device, like the Taser, will be discovered in actual use to kill a certain percentage of the people it is used against. And just as with Tasers, that won't make a damned bit of difference to the people who deploy it.
SC, I wonder if 'craiging' or 'to be craiged' will become a verb form?
That's the idea, Steve. We'll set up the protests with all the old people up in front! We'll have to move slowly because those walkers and wheelchairs don't go very fast, but what the heck! We'll just wrap everybody in tinfoil!
Tinfoil? I already have the hat....
If you glue the foil on the outside of your t-shirt, it isn't so prickily...
