Do you mean to tell me that in some statute book, code X, chapter Y,
section Z, there is an actual criminal offense specified as
'surveillance of a vulnerable target for terrorist purposes'??? With
unambiguous definitions of 'surveillance', 'vulnerable', 'target',
'terrorist' and 'purposes'?

Or does it just depend on what the meaning of 'is' is?

Where will it end?

The US seems well on the way to the old Czarist model, where
_everything_ was _forbidden_ unless explicitly allowed by the authorities.

cheers,

Henry
