Should we expect to hear from the usual suspects that this man's rights may be violated, because he has committed no crime?

This is just what we need, for Texas City to blow up.
Again.

I've taken pictures of refineries (philly area) in the past 'cause they look cool. Might just have been a photographer.

A white man in a white van.
Sounds vaguely familiar...

It was a hoot! I told the Cop of my file I keep on this stuff!

"That's not to say we don't have enough home-grown idiots already who might want to do something." Nor is it to say that we don't have any white boys who've seen the light (in a jail-house moslem kinda persuasion) who might want to do something. John Doe2 was a figment. Move along.
Just be careful you don't profile more than two swarthy types per day... that could lead to some real trouble.

Might just have been a photographer.
No one is going to be arrested for taking photographs of a non-security installation. The authorities prudently want to interview the person and ascertain what his interests are in these refineries.
To: searchandrecovery
Yeah, got a nice camcorder last Christmas. But I'm actually a little worried about taking it out, lol!
If I got stopped, I couldn't tell them I'm a photographer because I'm not. And no matter where you go in and around the city, you're bound to capture some kind of infrastructure in the frame and thus look suspicious to somebody.
Sheesh! Guess I'll stick to filming the pooch chasing her frisbee in our backyard.

Some links that HSL needs to investigate....

This reminds me of the old Soviet Union...tourists where forbidden from taking pictures of dams, roads, bridges...and on and on...

Well, in all fairness, it is most likely totally innocent. I'm sure a lot of people here would think I was a terrorist if they saw me taking pictures of my favorite thing, commercial airliners.
People who take pictures of things that many consider to be abnormal are regularly suspected of being terrorists and many of my fellow plane spotters have been arrested over the years. I myself had a national guardsman pull, and load, his M-16 on me back in Feb. 2002.

Texas City, located on the Texas Gulf coast about 30 miles south of Houston, has three refineries including the largest U.S. plant operated by BP Plc., which is the third-largest U.S. refinery, processing 470,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Down on the Chocolate Bayou. Where the workmen's chant is "nothing new after two, nothing more after four".
Wait, no. That's the creed of the technicians in a Nuclear power plant.
That's one big facility, the old Amoco Refinery. The only bigger one I've ever worked at was Mobil's at Yanbu Saudi Arabia.
