GL: New York Harbor Security Zones

[Warren Hall]

The families and friends of the aprox. 2700 people that died from terrorism
within sight of where Fred was taking pictures might not agree with you.  This
isn't a back water lake in Iowa. Freds boat would be ideal for a USS Cole type
of event. Would he do it? Of course not, he floats around on a nice boat
taking great pictures that I and many others enjoy. Would the guys who take
over Freds boat and get up close to large vessels do it? In a heartbeat, they
might just look around for a large LPG tanker. That would be a heck of a
picture, wouldn't it? I'd bet that would stay in peoples minds a lot longer
than any of Freds pictures will. I have no doubt Fred will go on enjoying his
cruising for many years and continue to entertain us all with his well
photo-documented trips. I wish him the best. I do however think it behoves us
all to be aware of what goes on around us on our waterways and enjoy them in a
responsible manner.

  Sounds an awful lot like too much "big brother" to me.  I'd prefer to see
  Fred take pictures at will and risk ramifications from terrorists.
