Timothy McVie didn't look Middle Eastern. Some Middle Eastern folks don't look Middle Eastern. How would you define the look? <br /> <br />Of course anyone taling pics of a railway operation for subversive reasons is using a cell phone camera. <br /> <br />I agree with Antonio. At this point the law enforcement people are not going to lay back on anything. They don't care if it's a Dash-anything that you need a picture of. People are upset. The law has to do its job. There was a shooting in the London Subway this morning. During WWII you weren't going up to Horseshoe Curve to get pics either. <br /> <br />It would be different if one needed a picture of a certain train. But we merely want them. That's not enough to convince a frightened public to turn their backs on our activities as unpleasant as that may seem. <br /> <br />I personaly don't think terrorists take pictures of their targets, but who's to say? What would the press to to law enforcement that didn't check someone out and that person ended up taking out a bridge as Acela sped over it? <br />I can see the headline now... <br /> <br />"OFFICER IGNORED PHOTOGRAPHER THINKING HE WAS A TRAIN BUFF" <br />And that would be it. They'd come for our cameras, they'd come for my razors, timetables would become secret information to say nothing about the tragedy itself. <br /> <br />Mitch
