#1 If the police in our village were doing something like this, I'd be at the next village council meeting petitioning to decrease the size of the police by a couple of officers -- obviously there's no more major crime in our village if they have time to do this, so let's save some money.

#2 Secret Service? Jeebus...we need to lose a couple of them too - put em on the Movie Industries' payroll. They appear to be working for them and not for us.

#3 You got to clear out the jpeg info on photos that can lead to you before posting.
Lots of software to twiddle with that stuff.
Its a good place to put the real names of photo and such. See comment area here

The real interesting info is shoehorned in with EXIF
Wikipedia on EXIF

[..]
The metadata tags defined in the Exif standard cover a broad spectrum including:

* Date and time information. Digital cameras will record the current date and time and save this in the metadata.
* Camera settings. This includes static information such as the camera model and make, and information that varies with each image such as orientation, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, metering mode, and film speed information.
* Location information, which could come from a GPS receiver connected to the camera. As of 2004 only a few cameras support this, though. Some people therefore use a normal receiver to track their movements, and then post-process the images by matching the timestamps in the images with the log from the receiver and can so add the missing information to images.
* Descriptions and copyright information. Again this is something which is most often done when post-processing the images, as only high-end camera models let the user choose a text for these fields. (Although this feature is becoming more and more apparent even in lower end compact digital cameras).

#5 Pretty obviously Angelina is Valerie Plame's replacement and Brad Pitt is Joe Wilson's (inadequate according to Joe) replacement....

exposing them violates some kinda law or something

#7 It was the dangerously high quality pictures of the new jefferson nickel that got the SS going.
