Yeah, that insisting that the rights guaranteed in the constitution are
not taken away from people arbitrarily is just *weird*.

My sentiments too. What's weird about the case ACLU just won against the
Justice Department? The court declared a part of the despicable Patriot
Act unconstitutional.

Was the restaurant open? You could have gone in there. Also, there's a deck
outside the FBO that you probably could have watched from. Just let somebody
in the office know what you're doing. And don't bring any long tubular
objects with you. ;-)

Well, I guess I made the list of suspected terrorists, this weekend.
My wife and I had been hiking in the hills at the foot of the Berkshires
and
and when we got back to the car we decided to stop at Barnes Airport
(KBAF)
and hang out watching the planes, for a while, and cool off after the
hike. So
we parked on the side of the road next to rnwy 20, sat on the tailgate and
sipped
on a soda as the planes came and went, as we have done intermittently for
over
3 decades. After 1/2 hour, a camo Hummer pulled out of the Air National
Guard
base (on the other side of the airport) and came toward us. It pulled up
to the
fence next to us. G.I. Joe sat there for a minute doing whatever
(chambering a
round in his 9mm?), then got out and informed us that "You can't stay
there!".
"We're just having a soda and watching the planes", I said. He repeated
"You
can't stay there!". "I've been coming to this spot for over 30 years,
damn, 9/11's
got you guys pretty edgy, huh. I'm a pilot and I've flown in here more
times than
I can count". "You have to leave, NOW, sir!", he replied sternly. "Is
there any
place, around here, where it's OK to sit and watch the planes?", my wife
asked.
"Not here.......there's a place to watch the planes at Bradley"
(KBDL....20 miles away,
I know the place off rnwy 6......perfect spot to lob a Stinger Missile up
the ass of
a 747 on takeoff), "but you can't stay here".
Realizing the futility of further discussion, I said, "OK, we're outta
here". I closed up
the tailgate of the Tahoe and he went back to his Hummer. My wife and I
climbed in,
and we started driving off. A 1/2 mile down the road my wife says, "You
know, he was
taking pictures of you as you were closing the tailgate".
"Oh, ****"
So, now, Folks, .....somewhere in Washington, in some little file, there
are probably
twenty seven 8x10 color glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a
paragraph
on the back of each one explaining what each one was, to be used as
evidence against
me.
The next airline trip should be fun......can you say "Cavity Search"!

Hoping you all stay out of the database.

Later,
Osama Bin Buttf**ked

I'm pretty sure the picture taking was legal and within anybody's rights.

On what grounds did he have authority over your actions and location?

None whatsoever. Nor did he have authority to take pictures.

I can legally get a telephoto lens, stand in the street and take pictures
through your windows, as long as I don't have to take extraordinary measures
to gain a line of sight. And there's nothing (legal) you can do about it.

mike regish

P.S. Don't worry. The last thing I want is pictures of you.

What authority is needed to take pictures?


There are privacy laws in most states prohibiting people taking pictures
of
you if you don't want them taken, especially if the pictures are being
taken
as a form of intimidation or some other threat such as embarrassment. I
don't know about Massachusetts but across the state line in New York the
privacy laws are very strict indeed. Courts have held that celebrities
must
have a lower expectation of privacy, but even then the celeb's image
cannot
be used to promote a product or service without permission. After all, the
only real asset many celebrities have is their image, and it is not fair
to
allow just anyone to make commercial use of it.

Guess I get to be the lone voice of dissent here.

In case you haven't noticed, there's at least a couple ten thousand
loonies
out there who want to kill us in large numbers. Maybe that's GWB's fault,
maybe it isn't, but that doesn't change the situation on the ground *right
now.* You're hanging around off the edge of a runway next near an ANG
base.

He wasn't near the runway. The runways are several hundred feet away and the
airport is all fenced and locked.

Sorry, but I can see where the guys are going to get a little edgy. Sounds
like the soldier was a little gruffer with you than he needed to be, but
that's not his first order of business.

It should be. As civilians, we outrank him. AND his commander.

The soldier had no business running the original poster off, unless he was
on military property (it's not clear whether he was or not).

He wasn't.

You didn't take a dump, did you?

Were you in a "no parking" zone?

Only sign I saw was on the fence and said "No Dumping - $500 fine".

C,

If you qualify ACLU as an extremist group, I have to wonder what you
call the administration...

I certainly do qualify the ACLU as an extremist group, considering the
weird
positions that it constantly takes in court.

Please give examples of ACLU's "weird positions." The cases I read are the
ones ACLU wins in court because usually an arm of government has gone weird,
and oppressive.

I'll give you an example of something weird -- the book of mormon. Now
THAT is weird. Twain called it chloroform in print. I agree.

Did you catch the South Park episode on this subject? Excellent!

If that is what the ACLU did I would not have a problem with it. However,
the ACLU has consistently worked to prohibit the exercise of freedom of
religion, the right to bear arms, and the right to own property. It has also
sought to disrupt family life, promote communism, and has continually
collaborated with despotic thugs that are the enemies of the United States.
