But I am trying to put myself into the situation of the people in charge. They are doing everything they can not to attract too much attention: running around in civvies, mixing with tourists ... they do that for a reason. They have quite some responsibility to shoulder and I would hate to tweet where they are setting up their stations if they don't want people to know. I mean, if you look closely, you'll see it, but there's no point drawing too much attention to them. Their job is hard enough, no point making it harder. And sheesh, I <em>do</em> have interesting stories to tell about me and local Greenville police, me and the FBI (J. Egdar Hoover building in Wash., D.C.), me and the customs cops in Chicago, me and the security personnel at the UN building in New York ... for some reason, I don't think I need to add to that collection. :whistle: I know, I know.

So I dont think you have to execute self-censorship (which is actually the worst form of censoship - but I'm drifting off here). And if you get in trouble, you will have another interessting story to tell :P About that twitter “incident”: THEY had to know better than doing so – you’re not actively involved in it.
