"Only if something is spotted does a person start looking, and sooner or later they have to get a warrant."
Sooner or later? What's wrong with sooner? And from whom do they get the warrant; a senior officer or a politician? We should have due process of law. The fact that it's a principle that's over 8 centuries old (remember the hypocritical celebration of that last year) doesn't mean it should be out of date.

If You went to a privileged university with some of Them it makes us (with a lower case u) less inclined to believe You.
