Of course they may employ the rubber glove and wrench treatment to make sure you don't know the password.

This story is about New Zealand, but I'm sure we agree on which government exerts the pressure that these police state tactics are about to become the new (and apparently accepted) "normal".

I really hate to see the US going down that path, it would have had so much potential to exert positive pressure, to make the World a better place.
