Eternal Vigilance

Over in Currituck, NC, a high school student's project on freedom just got a whole lot more relevant.

Sandy Kinzel, a school spokeswoman, said the Secret Service questioned the student about a photograph he had taken for a class project on freedoms. In the student's photograph, a photograph of Bush is shown fastened to a wall with a thumbtack. Over the picture of Bush is a "thumbs-down" sign. The thumbtack in the photo was apparently placed somewhere on Bush's head, Kinzel said.

Concerned that the thumbtack might represent a potential threat to the president, the company that developed the student's film notified authorities.

Thankfully, the Secret Service quickly closed the case without pressing changes. It's a good thing this student didn't use a stapler, however, or things might not have turned out so well.
