| Message | The CBP remain indifferent on this, as the definition of "vital" is relative and easily to manipulate, and as such we don't seek to be attached to the dehumanisation of suspects instead of convicts. If we were to ask the DLP the intents and purposes concealed beyond this bill's written scope, we'd doubt they'd let us tie them up to electrodes to find out the "vital" information behind their proposal. |

| Message | Certainly we wouldn't, but we're the Government. We're not guilty of anything, and we have no secrets from you, the Not The Government. Clearly. If, however, Not The Government people were holding secrets from us, well, that's a different matter! |
