BEWARE OF SWARTHY MEN CARRYING CAMERAS (FBI Getting "a lot" of Reports)

We live ten miles from a nuclear power plant; since 9/11 we've seen pairs of fighter jets patrolling regularly, so we know that they're on high alert out here. Yesterday a cop friend of ours told us that about a dozen Arabs had been rounded up from our community. When they were arrested, they had a camera full of shots of the nuclear plant taken from a variety of angles.

(So far, there hasn't been a word of this in the local paper.)

Wow, I did hear about a similar incident - I kid you not. This could be nothing, but I'll tell you. One of my best friends works at a big company in the Bay Area. (PeopleSoft) I talked to her on the phone the other day and she told me that some co-workers noticed a couple Middle Eastern men standing outside taking photographs of their building. She said they thought it was kind of odd because the men were out there for a while, taking lots of pictures... so someone called security to question them, but security took too long in getting there, and by the time they showed up the men had left.

She said that someone called the FBI to report the incident, and that the FBI was not very interested. She said that the FBI told them that if the company itself made an official report, then they would take it more seriously, but since it was just someone calling on their own, they couldn't do anything.

BTW - obviously people are now more suspicious than they were prior to 9/11. We shouldn't be paranoid or pre-judge people soley on the basis of their looks... but on the other hand, we should be cautious.

Sort of belies what our President has been telling us about how they are on full alert and following up every lead, doesn't it? But it doesn't surprise me a bit. The FBI obviously needs to clean house.
