I will also add that this is Not just a Indiana Problem , Ever since 911 
with the Homeland Security . Everything has changed , as Everyone know the 
Communications Hobby is a great one , even if Most people not familiar with 
it thinks We are a bunch of Geeks.

. I have heard of Problems from the people who like to get near the Train 
Yards to Listen and take pictures , also many Problems of People Who did 
not actually go to the big Chicago Airport where they use to go , But 
actually park at the Toll Way rest stop near by to watch and listen to 
planes .  Having a Scanner and related materials Will definitely bring 
suspicion  on us . In almost  anyplace now , I don't know if this is a good 
thing , But it sure is something We have to deal with for the Price of 
Freedom  ,I Do find it Ironic after Reading the Note From FCC And ARRL. 
Sept 11 , Below wanting all to listen for strange Communications and then 
Maybe getting in trouble for it.

Happy and responsible Scanning Don KA9QJG

The FCC's Riley Hollingsworth today suggested that the amateur community 
remain calm but ready. He invited amateurs monitoring any suspicious radio 
activity to
contact him via e-mail, and he will relay relevant information to the FCC 
duty team. "You never know," he said. He advised monitors to tape such 
radio traffic, if
possible.
