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.

That sums up the Situation pretty well right now. Many people really aren't getting it. There seems to be no comprehension of the seriousness of the Situation, or its potential extent for further death, destruction and damage.

The President said we are "at war." Whether a war is Declared or not, we must take President Bush seriously when he said we are "at war." In war the enemy gathers intelligence, creates diversions, and counterattacks. In this new asymetrical warfare, the distinction between citizen and soldier is beginning to blur.

My guess is that those "students" taking photos of power plants, dams, factories, government buildings and what not are actively involved in an intelligence-gathering operation, and must be assumed to be doing so. (In War, there's really no such thing as "innocent until proven guilty," which was WHY the Founders put into the Constitution the provision for suspending Habeas Corpus during wartime emergencies.)
