The other day, I was riding with some friends down the interstate highway. Vincent Fox had been raising cain about the Brit cavers. We passed a convoy of about 5 pick up trucks, nice ones, with the beds filled with something underneath blue tarps. You couldn't see a thing, or make out any shapes of what might be under those tarps. Each truck was driven by Mexican men. The license plates were plastic and looked fake, from the State of N.C. I GLARED at those people. I felt bad about it and looked around the car and everyone looked as if they had been sucking lemons. I, obviously, wasn't the only one glaring. Noone said a word. Then, one of the Ladies called the FBI and reported them. Said she didn't like the way that looked. She had plate numbers, truck descriptions, etc. I had no idea she thought that way, or would ever give one thought to the FBI. Sooooooo, I guess in spite of our warped news media, the word is getting out about what to look for and report.
I have no idea why I wanted to relate this. Just says something to me about how all of this is getting to people.

Nice! Glad to hear that others are thinking on their feet, better safe than sorry.
Personally, ever since Sept. 11th, when I drive my husband's Dodge truck, I can glance easily at those driving trucks etc. I make a mental note and have written down plate numbers when I saw something that didn't seem right. I haven't called to report anything as of yet, but I always thought that if I heard any news about a suspicious truck in the area I would have info. This is how the truck McVeigh used was found. And the Washington snipers were caught due to a citizens awareness, as well.
