There is unending concern that terrorists will be using tanker trucks for the purpose of destruction.
This from the Tampa Tribune:
In November, a man was asking detailed questions at a Tampa gas station about fuel deliveries.
Where are you going? How much do you carry? How would one get access to the delivery facility?
The fuel truck driver was concerned and contacted a program called Highway Watch, run jointly by the Department of Homeland Security and the American Trucking Associations.
The information went into a database fed by millions of truck and bus drivers across the nation. According to Highway Watch, the November incident may involve a man who was seen at as many as 11 petroleum installations in Florida and Georgia since spring 2004.
This week, Highway Watch issued a warning "seeking a person of interest in connection with tanker incidents."
In addition to asking questions, the man "is also reported to have videotaped tank truck operations and deliveries, as well as taken photographs of tanker equipment."
The Southwest Florida Terrorism Task Force and the FBI are investigating, according to Highway Watch. …
The article goes on about the concerns of this man videotaping their vehicles:
Aside from asking questions, the man began videotaping the undercarriage of a tanker truck. The next confirmed incident took place May 27 at a Hess station on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Tampa.
According to Highway Watch, the man entered a restricted area of the station, approached a driver offloading fuel and started asking questions. The driver pulled out his cell phone to call 911 when the man left.
Hess officials would not comment. Exxon Mobil referred calls to McKenzie Tank Lines, whose employee and truck were involved. McKenzie officials could not be reached for comment.
Rondeau said there may be as many as eight other incidents involving the man, including the one in November. It may be innocent, he said. Or it may be cause for concern.
Either way, he said, Highway Watch works.
"I can tell you that Americans who use the highways have embraced this program," he said.
The Democrats seem to ignore this continuing threat of terrorism in The United States and would rather attack the President for keeping this country safe.
