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?

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?
