[quote user="richhotrain"] Bucyrus, the main premise of this thread seems pretty simple and straightforward. Aside from the DHS bashing, you guys seem annoyed because you may not be able to take photos of trains anywhere and whenever you want. I am not sure what I am "doing again".  I ask a question and no one answers it. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Rich,  <o:p></o:p> When I say you are "doing it again," I am referring to you making up positions that you feel are easily refutable, and then assigning them to those posters you disagree with about this topic.   <o:p></o:p> Some people posting here believe that the national mission of investigating suspicious activity is getting out of hand because of the ever-widening definition of what is considered to be suspicious.  This may not seem like any big deal yet, but that is only because the mission has not yet caught up with task that has been defined.  <o:p></o:p> When some people object to this ramp-up of the list of suspicious behavior, you accuse them of not wanting any security that interferes with railran activity, or even not wanting any security at all.   <o:p></o:p> Yet nobody has said that.  It is a straw man that you have created to argue against.  <o:p></o:p> Another example is your statement above that people here are objecting because they might not be able to take photos of trains anywhere they want.   <o:p></o:p> Nobody is objecting to that.  Obviously you can’t trespass to take photos.  Nobody is complaining about that.  Any there is no prohibition against taking photos from public property.  The only issue is being confronted and questioned by the police while “monitoring” trains from public property.  Some people find that a little unnerving and would prefer it not happen to them.
