According to federal agents, passengers have seen the men on several occasions exhibiting unusual behavior. The FBI did not say precisely what that unusual behavior entailed.

One of the guys looks a bit Egyptian to me, but I’m not an expert so really couldn’t say.

Here's an Egyptian:

“Standing at the edge of a ferry is suspicious?”

No, but taking photos of the fire suppression system, life boats, and various shots of the car deck is very suspicious. And not just happening on one day - but over a three week period at the very least.

“I heard that the Seattle Times has refused to print the photo”

The PI also chose not to print the photo. This political correctness is going to kill us.

“FBI searching for two suspicious ferry passengers”

SEATTLE –

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”They had more than the average interest in the working parts of the ferry, the layout of the ferry, the size of it — more than you would see in normal passenger,” said FBI spokesperson Robbie Burroughs.

The FBI says the men were seen on more then one ferry and more than one run over the past several weeks. They were also taking photos of parts of the boat, which the agents won’t reveal, but that apparently aroused the suspicions of passengers and crew alike.

The FBI says the men had an unusual interest in the layout and workings of the ferries.

“We got several different reports of this, these same gentlemen,” said Burroughs. “We’ve attempted through law enforcement means to identify and locate them and we’ve been unsuccessful.””

Comments like that don’t belong on the FR.
I suggest you visit the Operation Support Our Troops Web site to see just how much support our military has in this State.

"They hate the West. Why are they here ?"
It's the Seattle area, practically everybody in city limits hates the West. I once saw a vehicle at a local Costco, that had so many BDS bumper stickers, they needed to use trailer mirrors.
