Regarding the middle easterners, I felt *very* uneasy. Then I felt really crappy for feeling uneasy, as if I was prejudiced.

So, I'm walking around looking out the corner of my eye at these two guys trying to take a mental picture. I sat down on a bench and took out a map that I always have when kicking around Chicago, cause I'm such a Chi-town tourist even though I was raised there. I formulated a plan....I was going to look at the map and be *very* obvious about looking at the map. Naturally, I thought a cop will be by momentarily since they're always around. I waited and waited and the MI guys walked away, south toward the fountain. I watched them for about 10 minutes.

This was at noon today and it has bothered me all day. I appreciate all of you giving me your suggestions. I think I need to give it to the feds and then maybe this foreboding feeling will lift itself off my back.

OMG Vel! I would even be suspicious, and I'm sorry but after 9-11, I've been looking at anyone with a darker tan than me with a slanted eye..
That may sound terrible but I will NEVER forget that day, and if I have to be suspicious of MI people with a video right here in Chi-town, I'd be on the horn.

DO report it! It may well be nothing, but you'll feel better.

I still to this day have regrets that I didn't report the bunch of 'em who were standing around a library computer one day, going on and on in their native language(s), and getting on the net! I was trying to be "cosmopolitan", too, but the heck with that, considering that 3000 people had to die horrible deaths! Preventing that should be worth a little paranoia!
