Ron Paul bumpersticker? You might be a terrorist!

Red flags outlined in the document include political bumper stickers such as those for U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, talk of conspiracy theories such as the plan for a mega-highway from Canada to Mexico and possession of subversive literature.

I wonder what they mean by that? On the Duty of Civil Disobedience by Thoreau? No Treason by Lysander Spooner? The writings of Albert Jay Nock or Frank Chodorov? What could they possibly mean...??

Brings to mind the line by former Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, "If it's printed on paper it's legal, I don't even have to look at it."

Missouri Homeland Security wouldn't recognize a jihadist if he walked up and bit them in the rear. But little old ladies praying the rosary at an abortion clinic are a threat.
