How do you expect to learn anything when you're filling your minds up with unsupported claims you hear on the internet? You're like old women
talking over the garden fence - gossiping about the world. All rumour, no fact.
I tried to be as accurate as I could and corrected myself where corrections were due. The behaviour of police was unusual, compared to routine checks
at the airport, but of course it's not martial law. At least not yet.
You're correct in saying that people like to drift in all kinds of directions when it comes to a conspiracy. This was not my intention and intention
of others I am sure.
The incident was an interesting little fact, I was looking for any other facts people may have in relation to this incident. This is a conspiracy
forum after all.
With respect to jumping into martial law conclusions I would not be so harsh to judge other people, since they are looking at this incident in the
context of a wider events, just like looking at one puzzle piece and making an educated guess of what it is based on the rest of known pieces. It
doesn't means that conclusions drawn here are final, but it indicates some kind of systematic approach to connecting the dots, a lot of dots, some
dots are hidden, others are diversions. Tricky business that conspiracy thing.
