How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Who were these clowns? They weren't wearing insignia. Maybe they were terrorists! I'd never really believed in terrorists before I mean, I knew that in the abstract there were terrorists somewhere in the world, but they didn't really represent any risk to me. (3.49)
Notice that Marcus assumes that he's been captured by terrorists, not a government law enforcement agency.
Quote #2
"Am I under arrest?" I repeated. They can't make you answer any questions if you're not under arrest, and when you ask if you're under arrest, they have to answer you. It's the rules.
"You're being detained by the Department of Homeland Security," the woman snapped. (3.104-105)
Marcus knows his rights, but DHS is different than normal police. At this point, the rules that Marcus thinks will give him more information just make things less clear.
Quote #3
[severe haircut lady]: "You want to preserve the Bill of Rights? Help us stop bad people from blowing up your city. Now, you have exactly thirty seconds to unlock that phone before I send you back to your cell. We have lots of other people to interview today." (4.24)
How will unlocking a phone preserve the Bill of Rights? Does this count as illegal search and seizure?
