Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Geocaching
and National Security
Ok. What exactly do these two
'interests' have in common? NOTHING. My point is this...my
fear now is that this has come from such a level in government that
geocaches are being removed in the name of National Security because
caches could be used by terrorists to swap materials and what-not for
different events.

The Patriot Act is a prime example of someone
who is a bit too power hungry looking for more ways to control the
citizens and give blanket approval for violating civil rights. Who
is to say this isn't some right-wing offshoot of that and that some overly
paranoid paper pusher isn't looking for a new way to control, and
something different to oppress?
[/soapbox]
I know, this could be a stretch, but at the
same time it's so odd that it might actually be true!
On a side note, can anyone confirm whether or
not this type of 'policing' is taking place anywhere else in the
country?
