WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Department of Homeland Security has tapped the nation's truckers to help find a man who has been seen taking photographs of tanker equipment.

On three separate occasions, the man also asked truck drivers several questions about deliveries and operations, according to the Highway Information Sharing and Analysis Center.

"The individual in question is also reported to have videotaped tank truck operations and deliveries as well as taken photographs of tanker equipment," states the "Be on the Lookout," or BOLO, alert. "Law enforcement has requested assistance in ascertaining the identity or whereabouts of the person in question."

Officials say the man has short, dark, wavy hair and a dark complexion. He is in his early 50s, and truckers who have spoken to him say it sounds like English is his second language. He was last seen driving a white car.

The alert describes three incidents that raised concern: one in Fort Myers, Florida, in April; another in Tampa, Florida, in May; and another in Ringgold, Georgia, in 2004.

The same man is believed to be involved in all three incidents. There have been similar, more recent incidents, but it's not clear whether they involve the same man.

Though the BOLO request was made public this week, several bulletins have gone out to law enforcement officials in the last eight months. None has yielded any useful information.

Interesting. I'm guessing they have a reason for making this public.

Probably wasn't much of any real secret after the BOLO was issued.

Not to worry, I'm sure the Homeland Security Real ID will greatly thwart this kind of activity once the ID is implemented. .

"Why are these traitorous bozos letting this guy know we're after him?"

Naive guesses:
1. Maybe the authorities actually know where he is...this is just a ruse
to get him unsettled and to run back to his contacts...and trail him to
a nest of fellow-travelers
OR
2. Let the truckers take care of the SOB...thus circumventing any
ACLU lawsuits about "torture" in the federal pen.
