And your right! Cops always set up fake news stories about speeding Hondas, just to remind us all how good a job their doing. What are the chances a 20 year old kid with an N and a suspended license would do 200kmp at 3am on the highway, pretty slim I’m sure.
Oh, and don’t worry if a terrorist boards my plane with a bomb, I’ll jump on him and make him say sorry to all the other passengers.

Driving a fast car down a desserted road at high speeds would be the equivilent to shooting a gun in the middle of no where. The government wouldnt take your gun if you were using it safely, and there is a certain safety factor involved in any kind of speeding. Doing 70 in a school zone is terrible, but doing 140km/h down the no. 1 between Abbotsford and Langley is a walk in the park and by no means endangers anyone if the road is clear.
Yes the government will take your gun if you kill someone, and by all means take my car and throw me in jail if it kills someone, but if someone is operating a vehicle safely and in no way threatening the lives of others, it is completely unfair to take their personal property because of a legal technicality. Talking on a cell phone is more dangerous than excessive speeding in many cases and they arent impounding cars for people texting (they should though.)
As for the whole terrorist topic, its a total joke. By implimenting deliberate screening processes you're merely showing the terrorist where the target is. They understand the process and they will use the false sense of security to exploit the system. Once they know they're using body scanners, they'll shove a couple lbs of C4 up their butts, walk through the scanner and right onto a plane.
