STROUDSBURG, Pa. - The Monroe County district attorney says a man on a terrorism watch list was discovered taking photos of the Interstate 80 bridge crossing the Delaware River.
District Attorney E. David Christine tells The Morning Call of Allentown that police talked with the man Monday, but didn't detain him. Christine says the man told police he was taking pictures for fun while on vacation. Christine says authorities didn't learn that the man was on the FBI watch list until later.
The man's name wasn't immediately released.
The man was taking pictures from the New Jersey side of the bridge.

The man's name wasn't immediately released. It may have been my friend Muhamed.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

...the man told police he was taking pictures for fun...
Translation: "It's fun to have pictures in my scrapbook of bridges that I've blown up!"
...while on vacation
Translation: "vacation from Waziristan".

The ACLU would have sprung him & sued the police department if they'd detained him anyway.

Inside the former Soviet Union a foreign tourist would get arrested on the spot for photographing a bridge, any bridge.
“Don’t even get caught with a picture of your favorite bridge from back home!” went the joke.
Might have to institute something similar, and yes that will include racial profiling on Middle Eastern men.

Did you know that a car dealer can't sell you any car until you've been cleared as someone not on the terror lists?
The Patriot Act is harassing the populace, while the police are saying, "have a nice day" to suspicious persons.

More and more, I am looking for the opportunity to sue these idiots for jeopardizing my life or the lives of my family. Someday, someone will be fed up enough with this appalling incompetence and haul these idiots into a court.
Hit ‘em in the wallet and see how fast they pay attention.

Christine says the man told police he was taking pictures for fun while on vacation.Probably true.
The problem lies in the fact that his definition of "fun" is killing as many Americans as possible.

Nitwits. Ask him questions and then simply let him go? And who are the nitwits?
