I don’t believe a word but it is just hilarious. He buys a $35 ticket to go from Union Station to the Supreme Court virtually across the street.
Guy was admittedly losing it. People do such loopy things when, well, getting loopy. Maybe he was just planning to go sightseeing for relief after dropping the packet. Maybe he was going to visit a friend in area afterward. Perhaps thinking of future trips doing same. That’s plausible enough. You couldn’t get me to tell you how much I packed for a particularly nervous-disorder-ridden trip I had to take once that was supposed to last about a week in the middle of college, and I wasn’t even on drugs.
As to the passport giving a signal, I’d think it’d take a pretty sophisticated (large w/ battery) portable device or would have to be fairly well aimed (if not such a large powerful device) to pick up the very benign thing.
Add too there’d be a lot of passports to cull through in such a place. Just offering an explanation.
Hell for all anybody knows that rumor just before this incident of a North? Carolina US? Rep (have to go back) offering protection of FBI was on and these characters were out to protect LD. That’s not such a big stretch.
Oh come on.. Why don't you believe what Leo says?
In the days leading up to Nov. 3, 2008… my cell phone and that of a family member were subjected to treachery that only somebody with serious power could have accomplished.
Leo, next time your cell phone is being tapped by the Feds, all you need to do is to drop by a 7-11 and pick up a pre-paid Cell Phone. If you did that, not even the CIA could tap your phone!
I died my hair blond, shaved, put on rock and roll clothes and stuffed the copies of my application in a hole through the pockets of my jacket which hid the documents in my back.
Typically, if you plan to file motions in any court of law, especially the SCOTUS, it is a good idea if you know how to spell.
I had my electronic passport in my sneaker. I walked into Union Station to purchase a $35 trolley ticket and probably set off an RFID tracker.
Wow, Leo, it seems that you overpay for mass transit.
Since when did one need a passport to journey from Philly to DC?
And if the Feds wanted to track you, don't you think they could have done that using the cell phone that they had tapped?
Suddenly, the homeless man starts gibbering some kind of weird code.
Are you sure the homeless man was not asking "What's the Frequency, Leo?
Then he paused and I looked up and a big SUV had pulled up right next to us, and two BIG mofos in yellow gold shirts got out of the SUV, opened the back door and started putting on body armor and packing mega heat… all the while they are scouring the area for the “target”.
Stop playing poker, you should be writing comedy.
The homeless man is talking to them through a device in his battered shirtsleeve,
Interesting.
I am a chameleon.
No, you are a crackpot.
Seriously. The paranoia was so intense. I even asked for official protection.
"Valium would have helped that bash..."
Okay, perhaps not Valium, but I suggest you talk to your doctor(s).
I had choppers over my home every night for hours.
Please let us know when they land in front of your house and the "BIG mofos in yellow gold shirts" break in and plant an RFID chip into your brain.
Ain't it?? In a sad, pitiful, very scary kind of way...
