Geocaching can be tuff on its own.  We don't need to bother the police to make it more difficult or dangerous for us (and them).  Plus, bothering them takes the police away from doing their job.  I was shown a CNN article today about a fellow Geocacher who put a cache underneath a bridge to make it an "extreme" cache.  I like the thought and that area of Idaho is probably a nice place to visit however, we've got to think about things in a post 9-11 mind set.  When we do that - caches like this don't work out so well.

“In a game of global positioning called Geocaching, the lowly treasure hunt has gone high-tech -- but it can also be a game of risk when terrorism-sensitive authorities find the goods first.”

On one occasion we've bee en approached by the police because we looked suspicious.  I was open and honest with him and that was that and we were on our way.  We've also had a cache in our area (not one of ours) where it was blown up by the local bomb squad.  This one was an ammo can that was hidden in a public park.  Nothing wrong with that except is was in an area where large crowds would gather.  Put those two things together and you can completely understand the paranoia.

We as cachers need to think before we place.
