This has me a little freaked out. A local Minnesotan was out taking pictures at Lamberts Landing in St. Paul and was taken aside, cuffed, given a citation, and told he couldn’t come near the area for a year! This is MNkiteman’s picture on flickr. That’s nuts. Oh yea, they deleted some of his pictures too. This discussion on flickr started out with a different story about paranoid security officers, but MNkiteman chimed in with more of his story as well. I am sure that this is all about increased security concerns over the republican national convention in early September, even more than what seems to be typical post 9/11 paranoia. It’s getting tiring, and a little scary.

I run by this location when I run at lunch. There is sometimes a tug parked there, and it looks like it could make for some interesting pictures. I keep thinking I need to check back with my camera. Maybe not.
