This is old news, but I wanted to remember it ... In Fall 2005, a student, doing a project for his high school civics class. took a photo to illustrate his First Amendment rights. The photo showed him standing next to a picture of George Bush, giving the thumbs-down sign. A Wal-Mart employee sent the photo to the local cops, who called the Secret Service, who then came to town and interrogated the student and his teacher. Don't you feel safer already?
