Police are investigating two separate
incidents of suspicious activity reported by security personnel at the Sears Tower and Boeing's corporate offices. In the Sears Tower incident, three
men were seen exiting a rental car and extensively photographing the building. When confronted by security personnel, the three men fled. It was later
determined that the rental car was obtained under a fictitious name. In the Boeing incident, a man was observed sketching the corporate offices. While
Boeing's security personnel were able to question the man and take photographs of the sketches, they were unsuccessful in determining his identity.

Chicago police are investigating cases of suspicious activity at two Loop buildings. One of them is the Sears Tower.
Since 9-11, the Sears Tower in particular has turned up on several lists of possible targets for terrorists. ABC7 news has reported sightings of
suspicious looking individuals photographing the building numerous times in the past several years. Law enforcement officials have always publicly
downplayed these incidents and they attempted to do that again Thursday.
Sears Tower employees Thursday reportedly received bulletins from building management reassuring them that there is no terror threat. But those
bulletins failed to explain the incident ABC7 reported, that three suspicious looking men in a rental car pulled up to the building recently, got out
and began studying the building. According to law enforcement sources, they took pictures before building security ran them off, but they never got
their identification. Those sources tell ABC7 the car was rented to a fake name.

Needless to say this is very disturbing....
I find it odd that the FBI is contradicting the Sears Tower event by indicating it actually took place several months ago. It makes me wonder whether
now there were in fact two events for the Sears Tower.
It's also not helpful that this was just released
