Democratic police state

That's what our form of government seems to be or at least is evolving towards: a democratic police state. Sure, we're still technically a democracy with elections and all that, but "we the people" have absolutely *zero* influence in the ongoing ramping up of America as a police state, with law enforcement authorities gaining more power to *act* without any due process as every day goes pay.

Face it, even to walk onto an airplane or even enter a federal courthouse, you are *presumed* to be a potential terrorist.

Secret prisons? Torture-light? Extraordinary rendition? Tightened borders? Eclusionary immigration? Sure sounds like the earmarks of a police state.
