All they are doing is using our own laws of freedom to kill us.

“FBI seeks help identifying 2 men seen aboard ferries
‘Unusual behavior’ cited, but no hint of terrorism”

By SCOTT GUTIERREZ
P-I REPORTER

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “For weeks, the FBI has been trying to identify the men through “normal law enforcement channels,” she said.

“We get tips periodically, but we don’t get photos normally like these,” Burroughs said. “We’re hoping to use them to resolve this quickly.”

Despite the photos, the FBI was unable Monday to provide the men’s height, weight or estimated age.”

Haven’t seen those two guys, but I saw this guy four months ago on the Clinton-Mukiltio ferry:

“FBI searching for two suspicious ferry passengers”
10:29 PM PDT on Monday, August 20, 2007
By CHRIS INGALLS / KING 5 News

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.

FBI

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.””

For the height all they need to do is contact the operators of whatever ferry that was and ask them how high the railing is that those guys are standing next to. : ).

Sounds like they were tracking them and they disappeared all of a sudden.

Interested in the working of the ferries? I'd say they would be interested in "trip time". Ferries can be outrun pretty easily. To take one over doesn't seem logical.

There must be more to this.

OPINION:

Generally speaking, jihadis have been interested in mass transportation for quite awhile and that includes ferries.

Height is rather irrelevant when you have their full face. They’re probably between 5 1/2 and 6 ft with normal builds.

I wonder if these photos have had any airtime on television locally or nationally? It looks like there are only a handful of articles on the net about the situation.

They have.

I ran across a handful of articles that included photos and/or videos.
The videos were local TV coverage.

Thanks.

Maybe these guys will get spooked and try to make a run to Canada (if they are up to no good). We might get lucky and nail them at the border.
