The problem with having a surveillance state is not that they will know everything about you. The problem is that they will assert that they know everything about you. And you’re screwed either way; no matter if they’re right or wrong.

Im reading this thinking it must be a joke article. It must be. Since when do authorities have the power to extradite someone that fast and keep them detained for 6 months based on false facial recognition.

I hope she gets some good lawyers and sues the fuck out of them.

See.... This is why I hope Iranian, Russian, Chinese sleeper cells are activated and just go to town on US institutions. Law enforcement agencies in this country hire people with IQs the size of a peanut. I would never report anything. Have at it.
