Just saw one on the televator in our office building yesterday. Well, I did see some moldy food in the cafeteria. And a suspicious looking guy wheeling around a catering cart. I mean, he didn't do anything suspicious, but he could be one of those people.

Not an SS,SS sign, but I did see a sign in the T station a few days ago warning that while taking photographs of the T is not illegal, doing it while acting in a suspicious manner may be cause for removal. Or something equally stupid. I'll get a picture if I think about it.

Which station? I have yet to see one on my daily green-line torture, although there are occasionally police officers doing random checks outside Govt Ctr.

Kendall outbound, on the red line. There was a bag-check stop at Wollaston the other day, too, but I have found out that if you breeze by them with a "don't touch my stuff" look on your face, they don't stop you.

DC Metro -- all over the place, including Nappy mindlessly droning about it on the loudspeakers at the stations.

There are variations of that in almost every car and station of the subway and all commuter railroads in the NYC area.

If we followed the instructions on that sign, the world would grind to a shuddering halt.

I see suspicious things every day.

There was a sign like that at the Mall of America in Minnesota. I think that was late May or early June.

I saw one at the Amtrak station in Lamy, New Mexico. This is a place quite literally in the middle of nowhere - you cannot even get cell phone reception there. Given how few people ever go there, I guess it would be suspicious if someone in a hoodie was looking around and furtively taking notes. I would wonder about their mental capacities, and I would most definitely not report it.

Lots of little airports in the middle of nowhere along with some pretty funny graffiti and cartoons

I called in a suspicious report myself.
I saw a white guy with a hoodie at the train station reading the Constitution!
