647: Flood the Zone

Boris Johnson, Jihadi Tourism and Pre-Crime Legislation

London Mayor Boris Johnson writes an op-ed in The Telegraph proposing legal changes to address British citizens traveling to Syria and Iraq. Johnson suggests a "rebuttable presumption" where any citizen visiting war zones without prior notification is presumed to have traveled for terrorist purposes. The hosts characterize this proposal as an expansion of "pre-crime" law enforcement.
