This forum is for model railroaders and none of us are trying to destroy our model trains or the landscape it runs on as far as I know.
We will report any attacks on our trains to the HO FBI..

Yeah ive plotted a few HO trains a few weeks ago.....LOL
Whenever my wife comes down to the basement to hassle me, I call the BNSF rail po-po on her for trespassing (and intential infliction of emotional distress LOL). It doesn't seem to work, though. I'll give the g-men a call next time!
I think what happened is that a special agent who is a rail fan and got busted at work for logging on (here). His boss asked him why and he made up some story about terror on the rails and researching it. Apparently, it worked!
Is that a Plasticville building?
Let the FBI do what they will.
If they start trying to match names with handles, looking for information beyond what's in the Profiles, then THAT would be a problem.

Since when is this a model railroading forum?

Hey! I keep a good eye on railfan websites!!! Wait a minute.......you don't suppose that, no.....couldn't be. I mean if that was true....it would mean that.....but wait, if it was true....don't you think I would know???? I mean though....with a name like underworld......you think that I could be????? No no no no no, I just can't accept that!!!!! However, the best cover would be if I raised the question myself!!! Oh boy! If it is true....I really am a genius!!!!!So......where all all of your engines....and may I count them!!!!

BUT there are too many idiots with authority that DO see railfans as security risks. Some are in a position to hassle you and me and anyone they care to harrass for their own warped satisfaction. Some time they will nail the wrong fan and this will wind up in court and be taken seriously by your Department of Homeland Security. DHS: FYI- I am Peter M. Benham and I approve this message!

"Idiots with authority" those are all of my old bosses!
Grins! FBI my rear you guys need to fear No Such Agency ( NSA) the ones who do all the elint stuff.I agree a G man must have got popped logging on and is using that for his cover!
Anywho I have no fear of railfans on the side of the tracks. You guys are easy to spot with all the cameras and scanners and waves ( my goodness would a terrorist wave at the train? I think not!)So have no fear the FBI CIA and NSA ( plus other alphabet soup names) are supposed to be monitoring youtube yahoo et al, but they are not.
Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train

What a great name for a rock band!
Be nice to have a bunch of BLACK SUV's breaking up the traffic a little bit to and from Downtown once a while.
Let em look, we might actually convert a few of them to the hobby. They need something to loosen up after a long day wearing those sunglasses.
