Ah, yes, security by obscurity. We see how well it works for microsoft OS vulnerabilities; let's apply the same principle to the defense of the Nation. ("If nobody can look up where anything is, then they can't attack it...?")

note this post: The FBI noted that use of almanacs or maps may be innocent
"MAY" ?
But more likely may not.
Exactly what papers are they checking? And what warrant do they use to justify the search?
"Just say no" to illegal searches.

I've always wanted to know what, when subjected to x-rays, will do something nasty or reactive. Or perhaps transmute from lead into gold...

X-rays won't do it, but many precious metals are subject to neutron activation... wearing anything looted from a jewelry store in an H-bombed city is said to be a good way to get some nasty beta-ray burns.

Because they might do a web search on your baseless comments about me and vilify me as a result.

NO "probable cause - to believe a crime has been committed- ".
They are required "by law" to have a bypass road for the search (Usually a right turn before the cones start to narrow down to the search lanes) area. The bypass road has a 100% pull-over rate on the ASSUMPTION you are bypassing the search zone.
Welcome to PRK. Welcome to AmeriKa.

With all of our interventions since the end of WWII, plus the domestic "war on poverty", "war on drugs", and now "war on terrorism" it's been 58 years since we won a war. IIRC that's 22 foriegn interventions that have failed to result in a democratic government, and 0 for 3 on the home front...

Train enthusiasts were being detained because they like to take pictures of, well,... trains.
One spot which had a tower they could photograph from became off limits.

Geeze, is terraserver still online?
In this case it was just one of the cockatiels, and she's fine. Hmm, next time I travel with my Amazon, I may just let THEM try to remove her from her travel case.
Nah, they'd get me for assault with a deadly feathered weapon....

Man, this is paranoia raised to an art form, even for a federal law enforcement agency!
Obviously, every red-blooded American patriot needs to immediately buy several almanacs and keep them prominantly displayed in their home, office, automobile and on their person.
Sheesh!
Groped any one lately???
