certain groups or facilities

type of facility

be.

Acts such as monitoring and recording a security apparatus should be raise a
red flag. If you notice someone who is not involved with building but is the
camera or binoculars, be alert. If you see that someone has been drawing
diagrams, blueprints or annotating maps, be suspicious.

ammunition, toxic chemical, etc.
