In a free society, it's difficult to arrest anyone BEFORE they commit a crime...or hold them if there has been no indictment.

BTW - Wasn't he going on trial very soon for being involved in his wife's murder????

it's not about holding them, it's about keeping tabs on them.

Being that I live in NJ no I never shopped or stepped foot in the Mall of America. This is always in the back of my mind and I am always trying to look around and be alert. We have to live our lives without any fear or they won. But it is sad that we have to go though this.

So police should follow people around...snoop on their phone records, etc - with no proof a crime has been committed?

No way...that's not Australian and it's certainly NOT American!

We live in a free society - not North Korea...

I live near the MOA. It's been on the list of possible terror targets since 9/11. Seen by some as a huge, busy place specializing in American capitalism, I see that it could be. Heck, it even has America in it's name. But no, I don't let it stop me from shopping there. On the list of dangers, it's MUCH more likely I'd be in a car accident on the way to the mall. There are no guarantees in life, but I choose to live my life without wringing my hands about every possible danger.
