I'll keep my political opinions out of this, but it should suffice to say that the surveillance of citizens is reaching McCarthy-era levels. It will be interesting to see how this lawsuit develops.
The SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) list is very real. I was threatened with it several years ago while trying to photograph a CSX railroad yard. Trains and railroad structures are what initially sparked my interest in photography, but ever since that encounter, I've been much more selective and careful near "sensitive" areas that include any kind of infrastructure or possible military target.
