WASHINGTON -- Metro has circulated an internal memo asking employees to be on the lookout for two men seen videotaping the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station.
An internal memo says the individuals were "attempting to videotape inconspicuously, by holding the camera at their side, between their chest and waist." Metro was alerted by a rider who took a picture of the men last week while they were sitting on the train.
The alert comes just after the recent arrest of a Northern Virginia man in a sting where he videotaped two Metro facilities for what we thought was going to be an attack on the system.
Metro says in a statement Thursday that the alert was part of "routine follow-up," not intended to be a public notice and not meant to alarm anyone.
The memo was first obtained by WUSA.

Eyewitnesses described how the pair held their cellphones at their sides, waists, and chests in an effort to keep from raising suspicion. These two greatly underestimated the observation skills and street smarts of workers in our nation's capitol city! Vigilant riders took quick notice of the suspicious activities and reported their concerns to Metro PD beginning last Monday. The sightings continued through Friday while the men videotaped various aspects of boarding.
Sorry about that formatting - don’t know what happened.
Yup.
Thanks. You would be surprised the number of foreigners that do this and you would be surprised how many of them know they aren’t suppose to take pictures.
Thanks Vel.
I’ll spread it around.
Thank you.
Are the borders still wide open to any and all terrorists who care to come in? Are Muslims with terrorist ties still working in the Congress and in the Universities and government? What about Fort Hood. Have they cleared out the known jihadist dreamers from the base yet? A little late on that one!
In the meantime, we are sweeping in with the naked scanning or molesting the croches and/or boobs of every man, woman and child who dares pass through our airports.
And then we have to chase around those sneaky people taking pictures who came over the border or on a plane while security was busy feeling up a six year old and his mom.
I can not stand these people.
I saw that, truly amusing. Building owners or occupants have no right to control pictures being taken of them. When their rent-a-cops come out, it can be even more fun
I stand corrected. And now the authorities can't find them? What's the point of surveillance?
Bump
