Hmmm

From ABC News:

Pakistani National Arrested After Videotaping Bank Skyscrapers in Charlotte, N.C.

(Charlotte, N.C.-AP, August 10, 2004) — A Pakistani citizen is in federal custody after being arrested by a police officer who spotted him videotaping the 60-story Bank of America headquarters and another skyscraper in downtown Charlotte.

So, if I'm standing on a corner with a video camera and I just happen to pan up to get a shot of a tall building (we got a lot of them in NYC, you know), I'm gonna get jacked up by a Hercules Team? I mean, this guy might be Al-Qaeda but man, this is still America. I mean, did he do something illegal? How much you wanna bet a good lawyer gets all the video tapes thrown out as evidence? They'll have to kick this guy loose and if he is a terrorist, he'll be free to keep on planning. Unless they 'disappear' him to Gitmo.

Note: This guy is an illegal alien, but they didn't know that until they grabbed him.
