Photo Suitcase Discovered in Brooklyn

This past Thursday, a suitcase was discovered in the Linden Plaza housing projects that contained some stuff that has law enforcement quite troubled.

The suitcase contained numerous photos of numerous NYC area landmarks and subways:

A suitcase found Thursday morning in Brooklyn — chock-full of photos of Big Apple landmarks and subway stations — provoked a massive mobilization of antiterror units when it was finally opened two days later, police said.
"The pictures had everything — from Police Plaza to 26 Federal Plaza. It was scary," said Derwin McDuffie, 40, a security guard at Linden Plaza, where the bag was found.

"The weird thing is if a tourist took those pictures, there would be people in them. There was nobody in these."

He said the black bag contained clothes and disposable cameras — along with color snapshots of City Hall, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and A- and G-line subway stations.

While it is possible that the photos were really art-photos by some intrepid photographer, it is also possible that these were photos taken to case various sensitive targets in and around NYC and the NYPD had to go on that assumption because anything less would be negligent.
