Washington Ferries May Be Eyed for Attack
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Wash-Ferries-Threat.html?oref=login&pagewanted=print&position
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS--Filed at 10:21 p.m. ET


SEATTLE (AP) -- Federal authorities believe Washington state's ferry system has been under surveillance and could be a possible target for a terrorist attack, The Seattle Times reported Sunday.

An FBI assessment determined that 19 suspicious incidents reported by law enforcement officers, ferry workers and passengers since the Sept. 11 attacks were highly likely or extremely likely to involve terrorist surveillance, the Times reported.

``We may well be the target of preoperational terrorist planning,'' said U.S. Attorney John McKay.

McKay and other security officials said the assessment helped prompt new security requirements that began Saturday on the Washington ferries, the nation's largest ferry system.

Suspicious incidents included individuals asking questions about ferry operations or taking photos of stairwells, car decks and workers, according to a document obtained by the Times.

6. I CONFESS - I asked questions & took pictures
While visiting a family member in Seattle, I rode the ferry up to Vancouver Island and asked about the return schedule. Then I took pictures of the beautiful scenery, which included stairwells, car decks and workers! How suspicious is that!

How bogus!
