Thanks to Bob Liddy, K8BL for sharing this important message.

An Ohio Ham was arrested near where Air Force One took off.

The local Police felt Sean was suspicious due to the antennas on his  
car and
some of the equipment he had installed.  Unfortunately, many of us  
Hams have
similar things in our vehicles.  These items are used for Public  
Service events
such as SkyWarn, StormChasing, Traffic Control during Jogs, Parades,  
Weather
Emergencies, etc.

Hopefully, this will turn out to be that Local Law Enforcement reacted  
in error on
the side of caution due to the nervousness over protecting the  
President.  We all
need to be extra careful when in areas considered sensitive,  
especially if we are
legally carrying weapons of any kind.
