Coming next: You were driving on the highway, mid-rush traffic, any big city USA, and the officer stopped you for a possible minor offense...
Officer: May I see your drivers license and proof of insurance.
You: Officer, am I being detained?
Officer: Yes. Step out of the car and prepare for a strip-search, both for my safety and for the safety of the hundreds of motorists passing by in this rush-hour traffic. You might be a terrorist.
