There was an amusing and instructive phone call to the Jeff Katz show (KNEW 910) at 2:45 this afternoon.

Caller Cindy said that she and her daughter got on BART in the east bay. Because it was so crowded they had to split up. Her daughter ended up sitting next to a guy in a seat facing the handicapped seating.

She glanced down and saw him sketching something on a piece of paper in his lap.

She looked up and noticed that they were sitting in front of the BART evacuation map, a second glance down showed that he was sketching it. She says she felt a wrenching in her gut upon realizing what he was doing.

He noticed her looking and grabs the paper, folds it and puts it in his pocket.

They get off at the Powell station and immediately track down the BART Cops, report what they had seen, describe the guy and offer pictures of him from her digital camera, and her daughter's cell phone camera.

BART can't download them so they go to the closest Walgreens and have instant prints made.

BART was able to catch the guy a few stops down.

She called back at 2:55 to add that he looked middle eastern and was taking notes in arabic.
Two points (And the people I'm rubbing them into know who they are, don't you?)

1) Terrorists do make dumb mistakes.

2) Under the right circumstances, a digital camera/cell phone is an effective weapon.
