I would invite all American men who are heathly, strong, and patriotic in joining me in beating the snot out of any arabs taking video of Naval vessels (and anything else for that matter) with stop watches. It is at least our duty to question them aggressively and perhaps even invite them and their camera to take a swim.

Couldn't agree with you more, but beware the sphincter-police nazi liberals who will immediately have you keel-hauled for violating the delicate sensitivities of anybody of ethnic extraction (ala ethnic profiling).

What Naval Vessels? There no longer is a Naval presence in San Francisco bay! With all the base closures, there's hardly a military presence in Northern California at all! In any event, I'm not frightened by any terrorist threat. I'm more frightened at the prospect of the terrible vengeance I'd seek were I to survive any terrorist attack!

Just where in the flying foxtrot do they get the right to aggressively take pictures of strategic locations and act strangely without being questioned? Is this some Allah given right?

I've heard this same story too many times for this not to be happening-group of Middle Easterners taking pictures of city/industrial site and no one questioning them. Is as if the police/investigative personnel are afraid due to PC brainwashing to put their careers on the line to do their duty.

Is there no way a police officer can ask them what they are doing, who they are and determine if they are here legally?

This is surreal, but we are at war and we cannot or will not secure our country.

Since I live in central Texas, beating the snot out of arabs taking pictures of the ocean takes a really great long range lens, is probably out of the question. Of course your request is a long reach also..
