HOUSTON (Reuters) - Law enforcement officials said on Monday they are looking for a man seen taking pictures of two refineries in Texas City, Texas.

Indeed. Among the endless variety of things people do with their spare time are trainspotters and planespotters. This seems to be more popular in Britain than in the US, but I wonder if even over there people who park themselves near airports railway statiions, obsessively noting the arrival and departure of each vehicle, attract the attention of security?
Maybe the Patriot Act can get struck down because it violates the American's With Disablities Act. It discriminates against obsesive-compulsives.
