Last night on the soon-to-be-defunct TV Series “The Practice” (comments on the demise of that show in my Video section, there was a little treatnment of the Bush administration’s use of “Dissent Zones” where they remove people who are at a Bush appearance site to a “special zone” reserved for “Dissenters”, and implied is that these zones are often so far removed that the president would never see them. I was a little miffed that the case being tried was one where a lady punched a policeman/security person when he tried to remove her…..while I am aware that there are people like this (ie., prone to angry outbursts) on both sides, ……ah, it’s just a story. Never mind.

I had not read a whole lot about what this might be based upon, but it seemed to “fit” the “Homeland Security” measures mode of operation, and so I was wondering what kind of stuff is out there. I’ll do a Google on “Dissent Zone” and see what comes up.
