"You aren't bitching about Best Buy throwing your ass in jail because they caught you red-handed trying to lift a TV from them just because you bought some Mountain Dew when you were scoping out the joint. This is no different."

People needed them once upon a time. But now they are about as usefull as a urinal in a women's
restroom.
