Do you think the FBI should be able to investigate Americans based on terrorist profiles without any evidence of wrongdoing?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on July 03, 2008
“No, I think they should have to have done something wrong to warrant the investigation.”
— Holly Davidson, wedding planner, Lawrence
“I think that it depends completely on what is entailed in the profile and how detailed they are.”
— Craig Friedrichsen, financial planner, Lawrence
“At this point, with our government's policies about privacy and civil rights being what they are, I would be reluctant to broaden their authority.”
— Debra Zahr, trade association executive, Lawrence
“I think they should. It's an entirely different world we're living in now, and I'm a card-carrying Democrat, but we are the only major industrialized country that doesn't already use terrorist profiles as a matter of policy.”
— Tyler Willbanks, assistant emergency management director, Kansas City, Kan.
