    More of Big Brother's intrusive behavior

    Some drivers along a busy Fort Worth street on Friday were stopped at a police roadblock and directed into a parking lot, where they were asked by federal contractors for samples of their breath, saliva and even blood.

    North Texas Drivers Stopped at Roadblock Asked for Saliva, Blood

    Some drivers along a busy North Fort Worth street on Friday were stopped at police roadblock and directed into a parking lot, where they were asked by federal contractors for samples of their breath, saliva and even blood. It was part of a government research study aimed at determining the number of drunken or drug-impaired drivers. “It just doesn’t seem right that you can be forced off the road when you’re not doing anything wrong,” said Kim Cope, who said she was on her lunch break when she was forced to pull over at the roadblock on Beach Street. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is spending $7.9 million on the survey over three years, said participation was “100 percent voluntary” and anonymous. But Cope said it didn’t feel voluntary to her — despite signs saying it was.

            What they were looking for was not the issue at all. Can you understand "BROTHER IN LAW " deal ? The company that did the study was based in Maryland. Who is from there ? Is it a "Blue State " ? Some connected person got a grant to do the study. The costs were not very high. Somebody made off with a big sack of money, but how much of that cash will go back to a politician who got the grant set up? If you get me a grant for about 3 million dollars, I will do a study of why dirt dobbers always find a dripping faucet in a dry year. I think I could pocket about 2.5 million in about two years. Then, I would gladly give you half. What a deal ! Call me when you have the cash.
