Heck, Jim, they don't even let you into the photo section of their web site unless you
provide your name and the name of a media outlet as your employer.

While I do not know what legal rights a private sector security officer has as far as
confiscating property from a member of the public on public land, I do know that a photo
of a stategic facility posted on the internet could present some sort of security risk due
to the continuing threat of terrorism. I would believe the secuirty officer was within his
rights on their land, but not if Mike shot the picture from the highway. The question is
whether or not the access road was really public or plant owned.

I remember about twelve years ago, when we toured the former U.S.S. facility in Orem, Utah
(now Geneva Steel), we were asked to secure our cameras before the tour started.

Incidently, an employee at my facility was supposedly turned into the F.B.I. after being
overheard telling other employees that it was a "glorious day when Osama Bin Laden struck
this land." One of our carpenters, the son of an Air Force officer, almost beat her to a
pulp in the elevator lobby.
