To chrisBARailfan, with all due respect, what are you smoking? Were you at Washington Park watching trains? This is the only park near the station. I find it hard to believe you rousted for watching trains here without provocation and as the for the BNSF officer I find it hard to believe one was patroling in this area as I have never seen one here and there are plenty of city police and Union Station security to cover this area. In regard to Downtown Airport, I often park at the south end near Executive Beechcraft, on Lou Holland Drive, at the public parking area to have lunch and never has anyone ever said anything to me. The Air Show was cancelled primarily due to the extending of the runways and the construction associated with this project. Adding to the paranoia of the day by making blanket statments is culpable. Are there individual instances of abuse of course and we can't access many of the places we once did, with that said, to create the impression that the Kansas City area is in lock down is acompletely unfair portrayal of the area. While railfanning, I have been asked by police what I am doing and after explaining my activity I have been allowed to continue. I welcome their inquiries, as most likely they will see me often and I like to assure them I am not a problem for them. Being questioned within reason is not out of line, it's their job, should you have a problem with this, perhaps you should stay at home and not ruin things for the rest of us. Ford Simcox
