Chicago Police ask people to report anyone looking at maps or taking notes around town.

Wow.
If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    All I can think of is aluminum foil hats:(
    I think if a terrorist is planning on blowing something up he has already figured out where it is!!!
    Americans are getting dumber by the second.

    Chicago has a beautiful architecture and the streets over by the Chicago Hilton and the Magnificent Mile had basically a cop on every corner. We loved walking everywhere with our maps and multiple cameras taking shots of buildings, bridges, and tourist locations. That was back in 2004-2005?

    I guess an oriental with a camera is okay? :rolleyes:

    I am one of "them". :D

    Wheverever I go with a camera, security/police/people stare. I was at the bottom of the Washington Monument taking a picture of the White House with a 70-200 with my Canon Digital Rebel (1.6*200=320mm) and I can plainly see somebody on the roof with binoculars looking right at me. :eek:

    Why do we drag a camera and take thousands of pictures whenever we're on vacation? No idea. Probably a cultural mandate like chopsticks.

    I worked with a guy from Turkey a few years ago. Some of his friends were coming over stateside,
    and he was going to take them out to see a few things around Texas. I had to explain to him
    that a bunch of guys speaking some odd language driving around rural Texas and taking
    pictures might not be a real good idea.
    I kept thinking of some redneck saying "not from around these parts, are ya boys?"
    I'm not sure he quite got it. He really loved being here, and didn't
    see himself as anything but a good citizen. Which he was. Sad that it's
    come to this.

    News repeatedly broadcast same thing enough true or not people start listening. I agree that a lot of people won't listen to this kinda crap, but it is for sure dumbing some people down.
