..if three ME types are seen photographing a resevoir or a nuclear power plant and a policeman stops them and asks them what they are doing do they have the right to say "Nunya bidness. See ya!"?

If these types are citizens, why not?

What's to stop me from wandering around town with a camcorder? Do I deserve to be grilled for an hour and a half because I happen to be carrying a camera or take a picture of something I helped pay for on a street in my town?

If you haven't committed a crime, then you deserve to be left alone. What's next, "thought crimes" ?

"Well, he looked like he was thinking about that box in a malicious fashion."

This is nuts.

Actually I agree with you. So where does that leave us? What is the point of watching these facilities and reporting "suspicious" activities around them like people taking videos and pictures and notes?

No, "hate crimes" come next. Then "thought crimes." Followed by "future thought crimes."
