sreid Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Did any of you spot this truck and trailer near the silo around vintage camping this year? It had a large FBI seal near the door. Keypad entry door, multiple dishes and antennas, and cameras on a large mast. Anybody have any idea why it was there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 They're likely trying to beat DHS/ CBP to the punch. Look at how many private owner pilots they could question. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awful_Charlie Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Blimey! With that tower on the back of it, how do they drive it on the road and not get stuck under any bridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964-M20E Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 They were watching and protecting the grain silo in the background. High priority target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N201MKTurbo Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 An excuse for a bunch of FBI guys to go look at airplanes on our nickel. Most cops like airplanes. I like airplanes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I LOVE airplanes Has the FBI been to Oshkosh before with a similar setup? -Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pleisse Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It is a colossal event with hundreds of thousands of people converging across state lines from many juristictions. There could be fraud, theft, stolen planes and trafficing. Likewise, they could be providing staging and communication support for all of the local jurstictions. I would guess they were doing their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know what is driving the requirement for the trailer being on site, and the bag searches. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronk25 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Talking with another contractor in Rochester we discussed why our government center is one of the most expensive buildings in rochester yet if I want to go there and have my license renewed I have to put .70 cents in a parking meter and I pondered if the citzens would prefer a cheaper building without the parking meters....the contractor replied "Aaron, your not getting it, its not about the people" (citizens). Seeing this FBI presence at OSH makes me think of that....oh and the "guns banned in these premises"...even to conceal and carry folks..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Perhaps next year they will have a TFR in place covering the week for Oshkosh and area, that will slow the terrorist down. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
