1. You want to shop in Belfast, Northern Ireland. You go into the bank to exchange your United States Dollars into Pounds Sterling. The teller apologizes but she cannot accept your $100 bills because they have had too many occurrences of counterfeit $100 bills from the USA and have lost money in the past.
Do you:
Agree We all benefit when there is less counterfeiting in the world. The banks will not need to raise charges and fees to compensate for their loss.
Disagree Banks deal with money. That's their product, thats their expertise - if they cannot find a way to detect counterfiet money, then who does?

2. You want to fly from London to New York (or from anywhere to bloody anywhere). At the airport you are asked to take off your shoes as part of security check. As well, when you pass through the security check, you must forfeit all liquids and gels etc over 100mls. Once past the security you are permitted to put your shoes back on, and you may now purchase any liquids you like. You discover that this is a result of two separate attempts to smuggle explosives onto a plane.
Do You:
Agree Thank goodness they caught the attempts and saved lives. I do not mind going through these checks to ensure that no further attempts to smuggle bombs in shoes or liquids can occur.
Agree As above BUT - I still feel that they should be more proactive in attempting to find other methods of smuggling in explosive devices.
Disagree All that above is fine, but it continues to impinge upon my civil rights, cause annoying delays and stress during air travel. And really, is the world any safer now?
