I know what he's going through. However, this cap has been going before 9-11. Sept. 11 is just a handy excuse for law enforsement agencies to abuse their power. I know, I've been on the receiving end long before the attacks. One good example occured back in the late 1990's. My brother, some friends and myself wre train watching in the St. Louis area. A security guard appeared and asked what we were doing there. We told him the truth. He said we can sit there as long as we stay off the tracks. Then a jerk with Metrolink aqppeared. The guard told him what he had told us. The jerk wasn't satisfied. He told us we had go to Illinois to train watch, we weren't allowed to train watch in the state of Missouri. I wanted to tell him to go some place and do something with his anatomy but I knew better. Where did this idiot get the right to make such a statement? I don't know. Unfortunately, I see things getting much worse before they get better.
