Protecting themselves from what! Is it my loaded camera. Maybe the'l pass a law saying you can't discharge a loaded camera within city limits - oh and it must be kept in the trunk if you are to transport it. They will probably include some provision in the law that says if you load it - any officer may presume you are about to use it. Seriously though - First it was stay off railroad property (rightly so). Now it's don't even go near near the tracks, even on neighboring public property. What would you suppose is next. Abutting property owners must vacate because they might be a terrorist? - Maybe something even more extreme. THIS IS ALL VERY NUTS! Common everyday activites do not constitute a threat to anyone. No one needs to be protected from law abiding citizens. A terrorist could impersonate a legitimate freight customer, passenger, or any other ordinary person, not just railfans. The key is to distingui***errorist activity from ordinary activity. The A.A.R's terrosist profile DOES NOT do this - It merely describes an ordinary law abiding pastime activity that the railroads do not happen to like. THE A.A.R. PROFILE IS THEREFORE VERY WRONG. Most importantly, it will not protect the railroad from anyone - Worse, it will tend to take the eyes and ears of loyal Americans away and open the door to all kinds of nefarious activity. This security fraud needs to be exposed. If the railroads are un-willing to be "Real", then our government authorities need to be warned, as this false profile is itself dangerous. RmC
