2004 : () Other videos in ...[ former Queens resident named Kamran Shaikh's] possession showed buildings and transit systems in Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston and Austin, Tex., as well as what appeared to be Mansfield Dam in Austin, according to an affidavit from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. It was not clear when the other videos were taken.
The tapes included audio of someone speaking in Arabic, but investigators said they were awaiting a translation from the F.B.I. Officials could not explain the apparent delay, which comes at a time when the bureau has faced sharp questioning from lawmakers about its ability to provide quick and accurate translations in terrorism cases. -------- "Man Is Held After Police Seize Tapes of Buildings and a Dam," by ERIC LICHTBLAU, New York Times, Published: August 11, 2004

“HOW DID KAMRAN SHAIKH ENTER THE U.S.?”

SNIPPET: “By now you’ve probably heard about Kamran Shaikh, the Pakistani man who allegedly took videotapes of skyscrapers, a Texas dam, and various public transportation systems. The news reports note that Shaikh is being detained for immigration violations, but I’m not sure any major news outlet mentioned that Shaikh says he entered the U.S. illegally by way of the Mexican border. The information is in items #6 and #13 of the affadavit located on SmokingGun.com. (Hat tip: The Galvin Opinion.)”
