Miami police plan random ID checks of citizens


Snip from AP story:
Miami police announced Monday they will stage random shows of force at hotels, banks and other public places to keep terrorists guessing and remind people to be vigilant. Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said officers might, for example, surround a bank building, check the IDs of everyone going in and out and hand out leaflets about terror threats.

Update: a revised version of the story here says no random ID checks are planned. (Thanks, Dave F. and Kevin Poulsen)
