Subject: [MilCom] Eagle Eyes: early reporting stops terrorism


     ...There are seven categories of suspicious activities that should be
reported:
     -- Surveillance -- someone drawing a map, taking notes, or using
binoculars, cameras or recording and monitoring devices, etc.

*****I guess we hobbyist fall into this "Surveillance"  category. What a
shame they don't realize the "Eagle Eye" value of a hobbyist while pursuing 
their interest. Oh well, we should be 'happy' Surveillance appears to be
the lesser of the 7 deadly sins listed.*****

     Agent Snider said Eagles Eyes has thwarted attacks.

*****Give us one example of an attack that was thwarted to establish some 
credibility. I haven't heard of
any.*****

     "No matter how well-trained and vigilant, law enforcement officials
simply cannot be everywhere. Your eyes and ears -- and those of your
friends -- can be of enormous help in preventing terrorism," said Agent 
Snider.

*****Wow, that sounds like something right out of the age of Communism. 
Watch everybody and trust noone. Unbelievable that minds like this are in 
positions of authority in this country. I am sad our Founding Fathers have 
to see this from above.*****
