Anonymous Coward User ID: 25209897 Taiwan 10/08/2012 07:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13263762 I was on a ferry once and these Arabic type guys were taking photos of the door. Plain creepy, no tourist takes pics of the doors. They photo each other and the skyline/shoreline. For the folks who were riding that ferry every day to work that was a very, very creepy thing. It's not all some fantasy conspiracy. There are weird things happening everywhere. You think all those lose airplane seats were an accident? Or all the forest fires? The world is sick. Don't be a dolt. When my mom traveled to Italy she took photos of doors as well. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 23917036 United States 10/08/2012 07:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My late grandfather told me of how, when he used to go to a certain place, that he would park above and watch what was going on while he was eating his lunch. People came to him and told him it was not a good idea with the terrorist threat and all, and so he stopped parking there. No malicious intent. No terrorism suspected. Just honest communications between the government and civilian. My grandpa was as good as they come, and he always told me, if you are afraid of the truth, then you shouldn't be lying. He was the best man I ever knew. |

T Ceti H.C. Radnarg User ID: 25142206 United States 10/08/2012 08:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A man who snapped photos of a brewing storm last month received a visit Friday from an FBI Agent, inquiring why he would want to take such photos. Quoting: Sleeping Giant Michael Galindo explained that he was simply volunteering for the National Weather Service. And FBI Agent David Pileggi seemed to be satisfied with that response. But Galindo was left wondering whether he now has a permanent FBI file. “He told me, ‘you’re not a threat and you are doing a public service but just be careful next time,’” Galindo said in a telephone interview with Photography is Not a Crime. The problem arose because Galindo happened to be taking photos near the Lyondell Refinery outside of Houston on September 13, even though he was never standing on the refinery’s property. Someone from the refinery spotted him and called police, whom apparently arrived after he had left. Police then contacted the local FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, which bills itself as “nation’s front line on terrorism.” Galindo told the agent that he volunteers for a NWS program called Skywarn that trains citizens to monitor the weather in the name of “protecting lives and property.” [link to www.pixiq.com] Last Edited by T Ceti H.C.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13263762 United States 10/08/2012 08:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doors in Italy are art. Problem is with perspective, experience and a single statement we think we grasp an all inclusive reality. I met this old guy who is selling his pain pills, and then his new doc was pushing him about the # of pills and blood tests and pill count reviews. The doc said something about where the guy lives which has quite a few druggies. So the old guy calls up the fed corp med ladder and screams like an ape that he is being prejudicial-ly profiled as a druggie, when in fact he is a little dealer. He's just trying to put the heat on the doc to take it away from himself These days you don't know who or on which side the craziness is seated. right, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13263762 no, road that ferry for a long time, people did not take pictures of the boring metal doors No, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13263762 I was on a ferry once and these Arabic type guys were taking photos of the door.

Quoting: goodmockingbird That still doesn't justify treating average citizens like criminals..IMO AAAAHHHHH you've never worked or lived around the refineries? I have and I would have reacted the same they are giant bombs and do go off from time to time. |

Quoting: goodmockingbird That still doesn't justify treating average citizens like criminals..IMO Okay, not debating that point. Just pointing out that refineries are a lot different from most places. Whats the difference between a refinery and the White House? Or a refinery and the Capitol? Just to name a couple of examples! Now before you provide an answer, go to youtube and look up "detained at the white house for photography"! People, this is incredible! Israelis don't even go through this kind of crap in Israel! Wake the hell up........... |

As compared to all the warnings they were given about the 9-11 terrorists from the flight schools to informants and nothing happened. |
