>>It's the same problem - should something happen to the parking 'criminal' or because of the parking 'criminal' the city/county/state/US gov't will get sued for megabucks. Therefore, they have to make sure nobody is armed. They'd probably be sued if they suggested that people might not want to get arrested in the first place.

Depending on the city/town cars can get 'the boot' locked on to the wheel immobilizing the vehicle. Theoretically the owner has to pay up or the City may (again depending on city or town) take posession of the vehicle.

Of course the court system can foul that idea up completely and let the person owing the $$ sue (and win) for some BS reason.

>>Same on the airliners - instead of keeping obvious hostiles off the aircraft or profiling (which is very successful - ask El Al) they have to feel up grandma and little Johnny in shorts in the wheelchair.
