I wish they had detained them further in light of what happened, but I don't see how they could have. You'd think that our agents would have kept the folks under surveillance until the film was developed, so that they could be picked up again and questioned. I agree that we were fortunate that somebody sensed that they were taking pictures for something other than tourist purposes, but the lack of follow-through is disgraceful.

And since you have libertarian in your name, how would you feel if you knew the FBI was watching you after you did something that they deemed suspicious? I will not trade the 4th and 6th ammendments for terrorists. If we do, the terrorists have won.
