You've forgotten an important check on his power - the American people. A big chunk of them wouldn't accept a Bush attempt to delay the elections, even after a major terrorist attack.
So is he going to kill Americans to maintain control? Who is he going to use to do it?

Forgive me if I am way off base here, but one question has been weighing on my mind since I began reading this thread and I just needed to ask.
Based off of your many responses here I gather that security is extremely tight at GL on all levels. You have mentioned numerous times about the commonality of polygraph examinations that are mandatory for all employees.
Considering that everyone in the ficility is under a watchful eye and all are scrutinized heavily as potential information leaks, it would be safe to assume that ALL employees are privy to debriefing as well as a subsequent lie detector test. Even the security officer hired to debrief the other general employees would be susceptible to at the very least a random polygraph, perhaps even a weekly test.
I would also assume that when said polygraph is performed, one of the obvious questions for that employee would be "Have you recently or ever released information to outside entities in regards to what you have seen here at the GL facility?"
Seems to me like you are setting yourself up to flunk your next polygraph rather miserably, what with posting sensitive info on a public chat forum and all. Remember, you may be able to hide your location, hide your identity through offering vague answers to questions and keep clear of online agents searching for potential info leaks...but you can't outrun a polygraph.
So my question would be this...how do you intend to pass your next polygraph examination? You won't...or I should say "would not"...if in fact you are who you say you are. To divulge secretive information in such a manner knowing full well that at any point you would be subject to the lie detector machine would be the height of stupidity....just doesn't add up.
Not making accusations, just pointing out the obvious. Please explain to me why you are not afraid of going to Federal prison right now. Thanks.

my dad told me something once about having a thumbtack in your shoe and applying pressure while being questioned so that your heart beat remains at a constant rate...
This was many years ago, so I'm sure there are ways to get around that now, but I always thought that was smart.

Sounds like you don't care much about your high paying super neato top secret job.
I find it difficult to believe that a polygraph test administered by a trained government specialist would be something that one could so easily deceive with parlor tricks and the like. I know first hand that polygraph tests, at least here in the public sector, are quite accurate and extremely difficult to fool. This is why they are administered to potential police force specialists during the hiring and promotion process.
But I will concede that maybe the polygraph machines there at GL are not the same, or maybe the people who perform these tests are not very thorough...except that contradicts everything that I have ever heard about these US Gov security types.
Let me ask you this....If the polygraph exams are so easy to foil, how come the government keeps on administering them? What would be the point? As you previously stated in this thread, the exams are given out with a high degree of regularity. What makes you the special guy out of 2500 + employees who knows how to trick the machine?
Again...I apologize if this may seem condenscending in any way, but I am still a bit wary of what you are saying here. Thanks for answering.
