 PARIS: The French government is looking to increase video surveillance of public areas and keep a database of tapped telephone and computer communications under a bill to be introduced within days, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said Tuesday.
| I'd recommend bringing back the guilletine, too, though I guess the corpse count isn't quite high enough for that yet... |
Other measures in the anti-terrorist law he has proposed would require cooperation with other EU states, he told journalists.
| Oh, yeah. That always works well. We've found cooperation with EU states solves most problems, to include neuritis, neuralgia, ladies' complaints, spavins, and galls. |
| I dunno about that. I took the waters at Wiesbaden once, and I still got plenty complaints. |
In the meantime, "we are maintaining our operational services on alert" with police, gendarmes and soldiers observing level red anti-terrorist procedures that have been in place since the July 7 bomb attacks on London's transport system, he said. "On this subject, as with others, such as border control and handling immigration flows, cooperation with our European partners is real. Because we are all exposed," he said. Sarkozy added that his services would take tough action against Islamic radicals making "inciteful comments".
| Good idea. Chop their heads off and they'll stop doing it. |
