Op-Ed Columnist: Diplomats and Dissidents

Editorial: Injustices of Stop and Frisk

My parents didn't have a bean at that time, so my father had no cash reserves, and he pawned his fountain pen in order to take my aunt out for a thank-you lunch. (The fact that he felt the need to do this shows that he understood the need for a gift of gratitude in return for a gift of care and service, which was what my aunt had bestowed.)

Packed to the gunwalesThe non-nautical use of the phrase didn't come about until the 20th century. A semi-figurative use was made of the phrase in the advertising for the 1944 Dorothy Lamour film, The Fleet's In:
The Fleet's In... and it's loaded to the gunwales with the funniest, friskiest entertainment.
An example of a properly figurative use, i.e. one set on land rather than aboard ship, comes from The New York Magazine, June 1969:
A popular East Side bar, packed to the gunwales with arch young bankers and panicky, pathetic, ersatz Now girls.
Not much has changed in the banking world in forty years it seems, and it's all a long way from gun walls.

 Judge Rejects New York's Stop-and-Frisk Policy

By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN

The federal judge planned to designate a monitor for the New York Police Department after she found that police officers routinely stopped people without any objective reason to suspect them of wrongdoing.


The stop-question-and-frisk program, or stop-and-frisk, in New York City, is a New York City Police Department practice of temporarily detaining, questioning, and at times searching civilians on the street for weapons and other contraband.

Full to the gunwales

Meaning
Full to the brim; packed tight.
Origin
'Gunwales' is pronounced like 'gunnels' and it is often spelled that way too. That's not surprising, as the word is no longer in everyday use - pretty much the only thing that most of us know about gunwales is that they can be full or packed. Consult any search engine and you'll find plenty of examples of "full to the gunnels". Nevertheless, 'gunnels' really is a misspelling.

friskily frisk'i·ly adv.
friskiness frisk'i·ness n.



An evacuee is frisked before being airlifted out of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.


Frisking (also called a patdown or pat down) is a search of a person's outer clothing wherein a person runs his or her hands along the outer garments to detect any concealed weapons or contraband.
In the United States, a law enforcement officer may briefly detain a person upon reasonable suspicion of involvement in a crime but short of probable cause to arrest; such a detention is known as a Terry stop.[1] When a search for weapons is also authorized, the procedure is known as a stop and frisk. To justify the stop, a law enforcement officer must be able to point to “specific and articulable facts” that would indicate to a reasonable person that a crime has been, is being, or is about to be committed.[2] If the officer reasonably suspects that the suspect is in possession of a weapon that is of danger to the officer or others, the officer may conduct a frisking of the suspect's outer garments to search for weapons. The search must be limited to what is necessary to discover weapons;[3] however, pursuant to the "plain feel" doctrine, police may seize contraband discovered in the course of a frisk, but only if the contraband's identity is immediately apparent.[4]
After the October 2010 cargo planes bomb plot, the U.S. increased air passenger screenings, and expanded a new, more thorough pat-down procedure for airline passengers.[5] Chris Calabrese, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), complained, saying "Americans now must choose between a virtual strip search and a grope", but declined to say whether the ACLU would file a legal challenge to the new procedure.[5][6]
