obviously when he walked out onto the field, being hit by a ball was a real possibility. though it appeared the game halted when the cops started to chase him. he was swinging a towel, not wielding a gun. but, now that you mention it, the idea that someone "may" be a terrorist is being introduced into our lives every day.

for instance, awhile back I went to a restaurant with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. I wanted to take some pictures so I took my camera which lives in a water proof case. when we walked into the restaurant, I received looks of concern by some of the diners. I then realized they were concerned over my camera case so I opened the case on the table and sat the camera to one side so they could see what was inside.

pre 9/11 no one would have given me so much as a second glance. but post 9/11 EVERYONE is suspected of being guilty of "something".

EVERYONE is being watched and evaluated every second of every day by these cell phone wielding neighborhood watch type people. and they might not like what they see and call it in to crime stoppers. of course, the crime stoppers crowd are white robed angels who are merely doing their civic duty.

Article 58 of the Russian Criminal Code:

"Where a Crime does not exist, one can be created."
