Gentlemen, This whole discussion seems to be missing a couple of very important points. That is not to say that we should not be willing to make sacrifices for the common good of all, but we should never sacrifice basic liberties, or waste our sacrifices on pointless dirty tricks perpetrated by industrial organizations. I would question the Americanizm of anyone who presumes to judge another's activities as "Frivolous", "Wierd", "Unusual", etc., and therefore not worthy of equal protection of the law. What America has always been about - is liberty. The legally protected right to do as you please, so long as you respect the rights of others. I once fought in battle for this, and will again - if I have to. President Bush explicitly told America after 9/11 to continue on with our activities as usual - do not alter them - do not let the terrorists win! I intend to continue doing just that! The A.A.R. be damned! This whole thing did not start with 9/11, or the government. It started months later due to the Association Of American Railroads designing a "Terrorist Profile" that "just so happened" to describe railfans. They know better. They know that taking pictures, or just loitering around to watch a train is normal everyday behavior for millions around the world. There are even popular folksongs about it, even nursery songs. Mothers sing to their sons about it from infancy! The A.A.R. has described an everyday activity as unusual and suspiscious, requiring railroad employees to report every camera or parked car. The point is that the A.A.R.'s dastardly and spiteful act against railfans is in fact diverting scarce and valuable police and security forces from the hunt for real terrorists. This may actually give them the cover they need to succeed. We all must write Congress and the President to warn them of this serious "Error" - The A.A.R. must be seriously REPRIMANDED. They have in fact dishonored the President's council to the nation, have created a grave new security threat, and have abridged the rights of millions while doing it. Isn't that what the 9/11 terrorists were trying to do all along? ! RmC.
