Our dangerous enemy government - "The First Amendment is Not an Area"

When you fly in and out of the Moscow Airport, you are seriously warned not to take any photographs out the windows. Actually, they don't want any photographs taken, period.

 Don't these fool and dangerous bureaucrats ever reflect upon themselves and how terrible they have become? m/r

Who knew:
Federal snipers with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
"The First Amendment is Not an Area" :: SteynOnline

by Mark Steyn  •  Apr 9, 2014

As SteynOnline readers well know, in the wake of Seal Team Six, America has also acquired a Bunny Team Six and a Deer Team Six. Now comes news from Nevada of Cattle Team Six. It's a long-running story of rights to graze on "federal land" vs protection of the "desert tortoise", but, like so many disputes with American bureaucrats these days, it ends with paramilitary commandos training their weapons on civilians:
Federal snipers with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) trained guns on members of a family yesterday after they dared to stop and take video footage of cattle...
Whoa, hold that thought! "Federal snipers with the Bureau of Land Management". As I wrote only last week, if someone wants to stroll in to Fort Hood and shoot as many people as he's minded to, the fellows on the receiving end have to call 911 and wait for the county sheriff to send a couple of deputies - because "the only government department without a military force at its disposal is the military". But the Bureau of Land Management has snipers.
That aside, this was the passage in the Las Vegas Review-Journal story that caught my eye:
A few miles up the road, a "First Amendment Area" the BLM set up for rallies like this stood empty, save for a few signs attached to the outside of the orange plastic pen.

One of them read: "1st Amendment is not an area."
