If these types are citizens, why not?

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?

These are both really good questions and food for thought. What should the standard be for detaining people we think are acting "suspicious?" How much freedom do we want to grant to the state to stop us if someone else thinks we are acting "suspicious?" How do we balance our needs to be safe with our civil liberties, which are rapidly being eroded by the "War on Drugs" and now the "War on Terror?"
