Someone To Watch Over Me

Daily Pundit, following up on this Malkin post, writes about America's Waterway Watch, The Eagle Eyes Program, and Highway Watch, all programs designed to encourage and instruct the public on reporting criminal/terrorist activity. That's great. Why not use the people who are already there to extend the reach of law enforcement? So you've got the coasts and waterways, the skies and the highways covered by citizens trained to watch for illegal or suspicious activity.

But do you notice what isn't covered? Call the feds on suspicious guys circling the airport and you're a hero. Call the feds on suspicious guys crossing the Mexican border and you're a vigilante. Why the blind spot?
