I remember this guy. Of course his family claimed he was merely visiting them in Austin and he wasn't a treat - whatever. Seems he's an engineer which, imo, the powers that be may want to look into any connection to the Dallas city engineer (the man with the plans... of all public transportation and building blueprints) who was picked up in recent months for his suspected terrorist activities.
I know of other unreported instances where Mid-Easterners have been questioned (and freakin' released) when photographing related, um, things in Texas. Security guards have been hired and public access has since been restricted but it only takes one slip up. Unfortunately, we are learning to be more aware and have emergency plans.
Does anyone remember the post a few months ago (this last summer?) where a FReeper reported seeing ME people scouting out sections of freeway in, IIRC, Houston? Any follow up?
