Be-baw,
CALL BACK AND TALK TO ANOTHER AGENT. Keep doing it until you find one who seems to have a brain. That's my serious suggestion. Your boss obviously has not a clue, which is not unusual. It's been my experience that people in general just aren't getting it. When the anthrax started showing up, I called my doctor and asked if he'd prescribe me some Cipro to have on hand just in case. He refused. (Nurse told me he said no and she had no idea why.) My wife called her doctor and talked to his nurse, who laughed and said, "well I thought I'd heard it ALL until now but this takes the cake!" Luckily, when she asked the doctor he didn't react in a similar fashion and did call in the script.
My point is that you'll find that the vast majority of people still have their heads buried deeply in the sand. Remember, these are the same people who elected Bill Clinton twice and almost elected Al Gore.

Expect a visit from the FBI to investigate you for racial profiling.

Go to the FBI's "tips" page and write a "diary" type description giving as many facts (as opposed to "what-I-thinks") and descriptions as you can remember.
btw: What does a "swarthy" man look like

You should contact your local police or county sheriff and relay the information to them. Maybe they have received similar reports.
We all need to "keep watch" and not get lax.

BEWARE OF SWARTHY MEN CARRYING CAMERAS Wouldn't that place 99% of the nation's porno movie directors under suspicion?

The gentleman I spoke with would not give me his name. This gentleman's supervisor needs to know that he would not give his name and that he showed no interest in what you were reporting. And what is the matter with your supervisor, BeBaw? It appears that he didn't show the appropriate concern for this incident.

Unless you are swarthy-complected yourself---in that case you can expect to be followed by people snapping your picture, and if they're swarthy, there'll be people following them...
I wish I could have gotten a picture of you typing that... just in case...

"There should be a National number for the FBI. Let me see if I can find it for you."

Arm yourself with a pocket camera at all times. When you see suspicious people, take lots of photos.
I was looking at some small digital cameras the other day that would serve this purpose. The Casio wrist camera was cool, but had poor image quality.
Does anyone here have any suggestions on -very- small digital cameras, like "Minox-size" or smaller?

I got an email from my dept sec today, about a "suspicious looking individual with out-of-state license plates" and no company parking sticker taking photographs.. they're asking us to be on the lookout..
And no, I am not going to say what the company is called.

Face it, the Feds are more worried about covering their butts than they are protecting Americans.
If we see someone we suspect is casing an area, why don't we place them under citizen's arrest?
By the time we report any incident, the perps are GONE, and LEO's have little chance of finding them again.

No, more like this...

"Andy," a resident of Sterling, Virginia, was on the radio here in DC talking about something very similar but slightly less threatening.
Andy and his wife were at the local Costco when he noticed the manager having a heated argument with a middle eastern man. The arab was holding a video camera, and he had been filming everything in the store. The manager asked him to stop, and the arab was refusing.
Andy thought this was odd, but paid for his items and left. Out in the parking lot (which is massive and contains a large gas station), he and his wife noticed another middle eastern man, this one with a still camera. This man was photographing the outside of the Costco, the gas station, and the panorama from the hilltop parking lot, which just happens to be Dulles Airport.
At this point, Andy and his wife began to worry. Just then, the other Middle Eastern guy came out of the Costco, got in a car, and drove over to pick the outside guy up (IIRC). Andy's wife took down the license plate number and they went back in to tell the Costco manager, who was very concerned and flustered.
Andy did the right thing--he called the FBI. Then he went on the radio to tell others to be vigilant. Good job, Andy.

This guy did not seem interested in hearing about it. It could be that his caseload has just increased significantly, what with all the diaperheads whining about their civil liberties being violated. Or he may have been running a little late and urgently needed to get to his next multi-culuralism/sensitivity training seminar. Give the guy a break!

thanks....you were way ahead of me there....but forgive me because I have 4 kids running in and out of the house showing me all kinds of "bugs", "worms" and other such creatures they have found.
And I have one little bratling neighbor kid (he's one of the four) that insists ON SCREAMING EVERY SINGLE THING HE SAYS AND I'M tired of listening to him....;-) Best Regards...Deej
