The more I read about Tom Ridge and the so-called "homeland security" dept. The more I think that paranoia is bringing the United States into a quasi-communist state. I know that we have to be careful, but come on. What's next? FBI agents confiscating your prized collection of RR photos? <br />Shades of Senator McCarthy are starting to surface these days. I certainly hope the madness stops soon, I'm getting tired of all the "dog and pony shows". We KNOW where the enemy is, and we have the resources to take him out. But diplomacy is holding us back. Meanwhile, I see no reason to treat good, law abiding U.S. citizens as possible criminals. I have been a railfan since I was about 5 years old, and the biggest "terrorist activity" that I ever did was putting a penny on the rail to have a souvineer. I realize that things have changed BIG-TIME since 9-11, but please, gimme a break! "Big Brother" is really starting to ruin the American way of life. <br /> Todd C.
