Via thnt.com (Central Jersey) -
STROUDSBURG, Pa. -- The Monroe County district attorney says a man on a terrorism watch list was discovered taking photos of the Interstate 80 bridge crossing the Delaware River.
District Attorney E. David Christine tells The Morning Call of Allentown that police talked with the man Monday, but didn't detain him. Christine says the man told police he was taking pictures for fun while on vacation. Christine says authorities didn't learn that the man was on the FBI watch list until later.
The man's name wasn't immediately released.
The man was taking pictures from the New Jersey side of the bridge.

The article leaves me a bit worried. The person was found, detained and then released...only later it was found that he was on a terror watch list.
Do we have him now? Is he still running around?
Hopefully the DA wouldn't release this type of information to the public without getting his hands on the person first...and acquiring all related intelligence connected to said person.
There is something wrong with this picture.....this showcases the current (dare I say inefficient) decentralized system that is currently protecting the nation.
