University of Maryland (UMD) police on Wednesday prohibited two Campus Reform reporters from filming an alleged covert government facility where Edward Snowden is believed to have worked as a security guard in 2005.

Sergeant Aaron Davis, spokesperson for the UMD Police Department, told Campus Reform on Wednesday that his officers were acting at the direction of “NSA security” officials.

“We respond to them,” he told Campus Reform.

In a separate incident on Thursday, two other Campus Reform reporters were briefly detained on the public road outside the facility and required to provide identification to officers as a condition of remaining in the public area adjacent the building’s grounds.

FYI.

Sorry if this was already posted - search turned up nothing, but I'm not good at searches.

Heard one of the detained reporters talking about this on the Lars Larson Show tonight.

The local police say they act on the instructions of the national police?

No prob the Chinese media has been broadcasting photos and videos of the NSA building in the past few days. I must say I’m impressed with the hi-tech facilities at the NSA complex and the landscape is so beautiful. Just call Beijing and I’m sure they’ll lend you some fo that video footage.

Kevin Poulsen has posted an encrypted message to Edward Snowden. It's illustrated with a big black box, which is surrounded by parked cars instead of worshiping wogs.

You trade liberty for perceived safety. In the end you deserve neither.
