TX terror ping.
Only because of their behavior at the courthouse, and their ethnicity.
This is a common way for Europeans to vacation in the US. They fly to the US, rent a RV, and do a tour.
With the current exchange rate for dollar vs. Euro, it's much less expensive, too.
What kind of intelligence (as in brains) is being utilized with top intel people all gathered in one very public place and it's known to the world and to any covert terrorists that they're all there in convention like ducks in a pond?
I know that in today's world up is down and down is up, but this one takes the cake.
Top intelligence cadre is having an open convention! Are they wearing funny hats and I.D. name plates, driving little tiny carts and throwing water balloons from their hotel windows so they can be even better noticed?
Does anyone remember the earth-shaking uproar with great ramifications when it was claimed Valerie Plame's fake "intel" cover was blown by evil Republicans in DC?

Obama is an islamist. Thus what should we expect from his fellow islamists but more terror related incidents and attacks?
Excellent point!
By breaking into the courthouse at 2 am? Only an Obama supporter would be stupid enough to believe that.
ROTFLOL!!
It's not against the law to take these photos. Let's make sure knees don't jerk and we start treating anybody with a camera as a terrorist.
I. Anyone in a public place can take pictures of anything they want. Public places include parks, sidewalks, malls, etc. Malls? Yeah. Even though it’s technically private property, being open to the public makes it public space.
II. If you are on public property, you can take pictures of private property. If a building, for example, is visible from the sidewalk, it’s fair game.
III. If you are on private property and are asked not to take pictures, you are obligated to honor that request. This includes posted signs.
IV. Sensitive government buildings (military bases, nuclear facilities) can prohibit photography if it is deemed a threat to national security.
V. People can be photographed if they are in public (without their consent) unless they have secluded themselves and can expect a reasonable degree of privacy. Kids swimming in a fountain? Okay. Somebody entering their PIN at the ATM? Not okay.
VI. The following can almost always be photographed from public places, despite popular opinion:
VII. Although “security” is often given as the reason somebody doesn’t want you to take photos, it’s rarely valid. Taking a photo of a publicly visible subject does not constitute terrorism, nor does it infringe on a company’s trade secrets.
VIII. If you are challenged, you do not have to explain why you are taking pictures, nor to you have to disclose your identity (except in some cases when questioned by a law enforcement officer.)
IX. Private parties have very limited rights to detain you against your will, and can be subject to legal action if they harass you.
X. If someone tries to confiscate your camera and/or film, you don’t have to give it to them. If they take it by force or threaten you, they can be liable for things like theft and coercion. Even law enforcement officers need a court order.

Funny thing. Almost immediately I saw a dot magically appear on his forehead.
