Domineering spirit

I strongly recommend that the Homeland Security chowderheads who've come up with the new policy of arbitrarily confiscating laptops at the border acquaint themselves with the instructions of one Alexander Hamilton, founder of America's customs service:

"They [the officers] will always keep in mind that their Countrymen are Freemen & as such are impatient of everything that bears that least mark of a domineering Spirit."
