Then I was handed over to the State Police who had me repeat my reason for being there, took my fancy digital camera, looked at the photos and bygod erased all of them.

See Tomlinson on Psion memory sleight-of-hand... Not that you were ready for it. Fuck. You innocent. You need a decent spycam, or a real-time sat uplink, an ultralight to cruise the urban canyans and buzz Ms liberty. A guardian angel Predator hovering over your shoulder. Best leave the war_photog to Declan and similar Youngsters, and other einsturzende neubauten paparazzi. As if other more serious hobbyist documenters don't have Long lenses and Sensitive film. They must have picked up your antisocial electromagnetic emanations cominng through your copper-mesh burkha; a lamb wearing an aluminum-foil Stetson, gripping the 60 Mton phallus as it GPS's its way home at 32 ft/sec^2, freezing on the way down because its been shorn. As if you're a fucking teenage arsonist-obsessive, coming back to enjoy the scene. Yeah, an architect ---he'd know the scoop on buildings and physics, put him on our short list. Shit, he's probably read the Fountainhead. Oooh, he's on *that* mailinglist too, put him on our extradoubleplus short list. Oh shit, he's got a document scanner and he knows how to use it. Tap this bugger. Seize his ass. Ets. First they pissed on themselves (d'oh; which wayz the wind blowin'?), now they shit on themselves, brownshirts for sure. Gotta thank the Muslim Falwells for accelerating things, Homeland Fascism on Internet Time. We were getting bored with Condit anyway.
