DHS wants our garbage men to spy on citizens and claims Waste Management itself could be a terrorist target.

Tampa, FL -  Anarchists, terrorists and plain old thieves and creeps, your new foe wears work boots and fluorescent vests.

Meet the garbage men.

Or maybe not. If Waste Management haulers do as they were trained Tuesday morning, they likely won't leave their trucks. But they will take notes.

"Don't get involved," said the narrator on a training video. "Your job is to observe and report."
The Houston-based company's "Waste Watch" community safety program made its local debut Tuesday before more than 120 employees at its 40th Street facility in Hillsborough County.
The program, which trains haulers to spot suspicious activity on their routes, started during the 2004 Republican National Convention at New York's Madison Square Garden.

Waste Management, which is one of the garbage haulers in Hillsborough, serves 73,000 residential and 5,000 commercial customers. It decided to team up with law enforcement to start the local version just in time for next month's Republican National Convention in Tampa.

Drivers watched a 14-minute video and learned that as a major corporation, Waste Management itself could be a terrorist target. They saw re-enactments of odd activities — like a man taking photographs of a garbage truck — and were told to keep an eye on anyone "taking an undue interest in our bins." (Ask yourself what terrorist would target a waste disposal company? The DHS fear mongering campaign is working overtime.)
Vidovich said the video is the same one shown to thousands of workers around the country and that the local workers aren't receiving any special training because of the RNC. He said the garbage haulers who were put on alert at the 2004 convention did not report any suspicious activity.

DHS claims hotels could be a terrorist target.

New Jersey Fusion Center: Attack on Afghan Resort Demonstrates Vulnerability of Hotels

Implications for New Jersey:

The threat to the hotel industry in New Jersey and the surrounding region is high because of frequent attacks domestically and internationally, and the potential threat from HVEs to the hospitality industry. As military and government facilities continue to improve their security measures, terrorists are likely to target hotels and other facilities that are easier to attack. While numerous terrorist groups have expressed the intent to target the United States, the NJ ROIC is unaware of any group that has specifically mentioned the hotel sector in New Jersey as a potential target. Law enforcement and private-sector security personnel should remain vigilant for suspicious activity that may be indicative of terrorist activity. (DHS has no credible proof a hotel in the U.S. is being targeted, yet they continue to cry wolf.)
New Jersey Suspicious Activity Reports:

A review of the New Jersey Suspicious Activity Reporting System (NJSARS) related to the hotel sector for the past 12 months shows little activity reported. Bergen County reported the most suspicious events with three SARS during this period, followed by Atlantic, Middlesex, and Ocean counties with two SARS each respectively. In total, there were 16 suspicious incidents reported in a 12-month period.http://info.publicintelligence.net/NJROIC-KabulHotelBombing.pdf
