blog.washingtonpost.com — If you happen by 3701 N. Fairfax Drive in Arlington and decide you have a sudden craving for a photograph of a generic suburban office building, and you point your camera at said structure, you will rather quickly be greeted by uniformed security folks who will demand that you delete the image and require that you give up various personal info.

You are aware that you are denigrating presumed liberals for wanting less intrusive government involvement in situations where no laws were broken - a classically conservative position, right? You have actually just taken a "whiny libf**k moonbat" position. Further, if ever you wish to be taken seriously you'll need to stop with the namecalling.

Agreed - and therefor he is under no obligation to comply or be detained for questioning. Jus because they want something doesn't make it happen - my 3-year old even knows that. "Your papers, please," used to be a sick joke mocking Soviet paranoia.

That wasn't a movie he was watching, it was surveillance camera footage of YOU!

So we now know that you understand what light years are. So? Wouldn't it be OK to say "miles ahead," you know, like in a race. Not exactly a correct usage of the word, but acceptable.

"3701 N. Fairfax Drive in Arlington is not a generic suburban office building. The exterior of the building is actually an advanced hologram of what appears to be a generic suburban office building generated by a highly-classified DARPA project. The actual structure of 3701 N. Fairfax Drive bristles with spikes and dishes like something out of that Transformer movie. The naked eye and conventional photographic film cannot detect this, but it becomes obvious through digital analysis by advanced decryption programs such as Photoshop. Keith McCammon is headed for Gitmo. So am I, for revealing this and you for reading it."Quoted from "|" (of the Washington Post blog comments section)

That's the CIA. I have a friend that lives down the street and when you drive through that intersection, all mobile phones go dead. They jam all mobile phone frequencies (and I would guess wi-fi as well). It's weird to watch too:5 bars, 5 bars, 5 bars, dead, dead, dead, 5 bars, 5 bars. . .

I had no idea the US did that! I've had that problem when traveling but assumed it was just other paranoid countries
