Seems understandable and reasonable. I hear those refineries are probably major disasters waiting to happen. They should be closely watched and anything suspicious dealt with pronto.

Well, was this photographer middle-eastern looking?

Some f-ing do-gooder thought they were preventing the next 911.

Someone called them.

No,
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.

Now you see why they created terrorism

Re: Houston Man Receives Visit from FBI after Photographing Weather
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.

Re: Houston Man Receives Visit from FBI after Photographing Weather
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.

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.”

lmao.i would have said because i can and i will do it again unless you can show me the deed to the sky proving you own it...i will represent myself in court and be there waiting on that deed to the sky..then i will tell him the sky starts where the ground ends and all above ground pictures even an inch and above ground would then be seen as illegal..so all movies shot above ground would be in the sky,and they would be illegal also..the sky starts where the ground ends...we even move around in the sky with only the bottom of our feet or shoes touching the ground...

Re: Houston Man Receives Visit from FBI after Photographing Weather
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.

Refineries are extremely vulnerable, not just to classic 'terrorists', but to nutjobs of all persuasions who just like to blow things up.

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.
 Quoting: goodmockingbird


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!

If the FBI called this man then he now has a file on record with the FBI!

How would you like to be in the FBI's database for innocent photography?

hey at least our refineries are being watched, at least the government is protecting some interests theirs and in this case ours as well. Which is more than you can say about many of the other government departments.

Did they manage to find him so quick and ask questions because he is a normal American that poses no threat? As compared to all the warnings they were given about the 9-11 terrorists from the flight schools to informants and nothing happened.
