This idea that we're grabbing up bad guys who know where the bombs going to go off any minute... right and left... on regular basis is inane.

I mean the Army asked the star of "24" to come talk to the Cadets at West Point to explain this works in TV and movies but not in reality. Even the Army is calling bullshit on this and we still have people screaming about the ticking bomb scenario.

I wonder if these same people know that law enforcement professionals watch CSI and know it'd just a show, real life is nothing like it.
