From another article on the same subject:

"KNBC-TV reports the installation isn’t so much being made because of any crime in the area, but more because of terrorism fears. Reports have been coming in of suspicious people taking pictures and video of the facilities, and both the pier and the Promenade have been the subjects in the past of known al Qaida chatter on possible targets for attack."

Why am I reminded of an incident 30+ years ago at our apartment? I left the apartment for an hour to do some grocery shopping. When I returned, the lock on the door of the apartment had been broken. Nothing inside had been disturbed. Nothing had been stolen. I called management to report it and they said they'd send someone to make repairs and install a new lock the next day. That evening, the phone rang. It was someone selling renters insurance.

So, in reference to "reports have been coming in of suspicious people taking pictures and video of the facilities," how do we know this to be fact?
