Pennsylvania street checkpoint asks drivers for mouth swabs

[okaawhatever]

16. Give me a break. It was a study that has been going on since the 70's. This article is

slanted and your excerpts just make it worse.


Heim said city police were hired for site security only, since the survey takers were paying money for answers and for the swabs.

But he said city police did not pull motorists over, nor ask any questions, and in fact were asked to stay away from the cars.

The checkpoint was part of a $7.9 million, three-year survey by the agencies, which has been conducted several times since the 1970s.

The surveys have gained more scrutiny this year because the Obama administration has been heavily criticized over revelations that U.S. spy agencies are tracking phone and Internet traffic, CNN reported in June.


While I do believe there shouldn't be an actual traffic stop, more like a flashing sign that says there will be a paid survey done for the Highway Safety office pull over if you want to participate, this article is just more bashing.
