What this guy has an issue with is that the proccess of checking these receipts creates an atmosphere in which the honest customers are the ones who end up on the recieving end of the suspicion not the shoplifters ...Which makes me wonder if our dear blogger supports the alternative to a universal bag check. You know, where the store only inspects you if you happen to fall within their subjective profile of a likely offender...
...the trick to universal suspicion, even of honest folks, is that it's very unlikely one can be accused of discriminating against particular groups.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
