SO.. put up checkpoints, make the general public feel more safe, and then allow the offenders to go back to doing what it is they got busted for in the first place. Better yet, let's make sure that 5 year old kid who is on the no fly list gets a good strip search because that will definitely enhance my national security.

I know I feel better already.


How about, for first time offense 1 year suspended license and mandatory one week in jail. Second time offense you LOSE your license for life and spend 6 mos in jail. This is considering nobody got hurt during these offenses. I know this will clog the jails and the system but I could only imagine the drop off in DUI'S and the lifes saved.
