    Ok.  What exactly do these two 'interests' have in common?  NOTHING. =
 My point is this...my fear now is that this has come from such a level =
in government that geocaches are being removed in the name of National =
Security because caches could be used by terrorists to swap materials =
and what-not for different events. =20

    [soapbox]
    The Patriot Act is a prime example of someone who is a bit too power =
hungry looking for more ways to control the citizens and give blanket =
approval for violating civil rights.  Who is to say this isn't some =
right-wing offshoot of that and that some overly paranoid paper pusher =
isn't looking for a new way to control, and something different to =
oppress?
    [/soapbox]

    I know, this could be a stretch, but at the same time it's so odd =
that it might actually be true!

    On a side note, can anyone confirm whether or not this type of =
'policing' is taking place anywhere else in the country?
