If she puked, she gets cited and fined.

Again, these are things that are illegal in most of the U.S. So are they much more law abiding in Singapore because they censor the mail - and find deviant plans to spit on the sidewalk before they are carried out?

When was the last time you heard of someone getting a ticket for littering or obeying signs like "No eating on bus" or "No eating on platform"?
I don't see you responding to this thread, The Boy and the lollipop or Lady cuffed for eating on DC Metro

Where is this? Surely not the U.S. We do have laws here.

If you live in DC and don't see it then you are plain blind. I have walked the streets of DC and have witnessed many things from public nudity to people smoking crack and pot as they walk down the street.
I live in NYC and see it all the time. I'm paying attention and looking for it, just like you look for "people snooping through mail," I'm looking for things that affect my day to day quality of life. Walking over some asshole's dog shit because they didn't want to pick it up is annoying. Someone reading my mail???? When was the last time I mailed a letter? Several years ago.

I've seen human feces in El Salvador. The punishment there for pretty much anything is death.

Great. So?

I've never seen this, and DC is supposed to be the crackhead capitol of the world.

Pay attention, you'll see it.

Again, how does opening personal mail stop this? Thugs don't write. Terrorists don't mug people for their ipods.

It doesn't. It also doesn't change my day to day either. People stealing my stuff, making me feel unsafe outside my doorstep. Those do.
