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. =20
[soapbox]
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?
