During the past year my friends and myself have been questioned on various occasions, trackside, by the police regarding our hobby of railfanning. I was taking pictures of the Model Railroad 70th aniversary boxcar yesterday and while in the performance of this innocent passtime, I found myself looking over my shoulder anticipating the police to arrive and question me. I assure you I was parked legally on a public road but I still had the feeling I was going to be confronted. In this day and age I completely respect the task of protecting the Homeland, but once in a while I miss the "old days" when 3 - 50ish, overweight , Irish guys could hang out trackside for a few hours and not , as in one instance, be frisked, questioned etc. As one of my friends is fond of saying <br />"<font color="red">IT ISN'T THE GUYS YOU SEE, BUT THE ONES YOU DON'T SEE WHO WE </font id="red"><font color="red">SHOUD BE WORRIED ABOUT"</font id="red"> How do you feel about this issue ?[?][?]
