[ScanIndiana] Indianapolis Airport Parks/Scanning/Planespotting

I agree. It's sad that we have to go through all of this. But, I do agree
with Public Officials that they have to look our for security . If they did
nothing, and someone took down a plane from that park, you guys would be the
first ones saying that the Gov. did not do their jobs to protect us! Maybe
security cameras are the sollution. Plane watchers have no reason to oppose
security cameras if all they are doing is watching planes, only the crooks
would complain. Steve
