It wouldn’t help if the Seattle PI ran the photo’s because nobody that reads the left wing rag believes there is a War on Terror.

Heck, the Seattle PI readership would probably offer to carry their satchel charges onboard.

Remember the 9/11 terrorist caught at the Canadian border headed for LA?? I live in this state and understand fully well that we have a hotbed of these types who are here because they know liberals look the other way most of the time. There is no doubt the waterways north will have these types coming in where they can, just like our southern border to Mexico. Most of us voters, who pay high taxes to live here (check out the extra tax on fuel our so called GOV., placed on top of the high energy costs), and it taxes our lives as well knowing terrorists walk here.

You're welcome  :-)

Yes, unfortunately we can always count on the PI and the Seattle Times to adopt the most anti-American position possible on any issue....one of many reasons why their readership has been declining catastrophically over the past decade or two, even here in hard-Left Seattle.  In an effort to gain new subscribers they have occasionally deposited free copies of their 'news'paper on my lawn.  I've responded by phoning them and threatening to prosecute them for littering, and stressing that I don't see a tangible difference between them placing an unwanted copy of their paper on my lawn and a feral dog doing his 'business' in the same location.

It's been awhile now since they have done this.  Coincidence?

From the information I got about this, This isn’t a couple of olive skinned tourists doing tourists stuff. This was obvious surveillence for future action.

The activities were such that had I observed them I would have detained them and conducted an investigation.

Can’t give more than that.

An essential, crucial perspective; thanks very much for posting.  One concern of mine is that these two were apparently doing this over the course of multiple days and multiple trips, and to such an obviously suspicious degree that numerous presumably-Liberal Seattleites were so frightened by their behaviors that they were reported numerous times.  Their behaviors were so obvious that a State employee felt suitably justified in taking a broad-daylight, full-frontal photo of them while they were looking directly at, and presumably identifying, the photographer.

This suggests to me that these guys are either amateurs, they are intentionally trying to attract attention for political reasons (like the "flying Imams" flap) or they are trying to divert attention (and resources) from others who are doing the 'actual' surveillance.

Also, if it takes such obvious, blatant behaviors as these to gain suspicion, how many other more professional operatives are currently surveilling the ferries or other potential targets, and have not been discovered because they are actually being covert, discreet and 'professional' about their activities?

Although I am of course delighted that these two are FINALLY being pursued, I remain concerned that it took so very long and so many complaints to get the ball rolling on this.
