One of them, Karim Ahmed Abdel Latif Ahmed, 21, told cops he needed the maps for his new job as a street vendor.

Just last week there was a post stating that the NYC vendor licensing bureau now prohibits asking about an applicant's immigration or citizenship status.

So becoming a NYC "street vendor" now provides all sorts of cover for running surveillance, laundering money, and conducting illegal business, and even provides a semi-plausible story if one is caught in a terrorist plot.

The monumental stupidity of big-city bureaucrats is staggering.

In this bizarro PC world, it's almost as if we're saying, "Okay, we're going to fight terrorism, but we're only going to do it after first tying our ankles together with a rope, putting earplugs in our ears, putting handcuffs on our wrists and putting on a blindfold."

It would be laughable if it weren't so dangerously stupid.
