Kamran Akhtar was one busy tourist. A dam, transit systems, banks. Hmmm. I guess the folks back home wanted to see some infrastructure. From CNN, :
(CNN) — A Pakistani citizen who was arrested while videotaping buildings in Charlotte, North Carolina, was charged with federal immigration violations, authorities announced Tuesday.
Kamran Shaikh — also known as Kamran Akhtar — was carrying videotapes of other Southern cities, according to an affidavit signed by U.S. Immigrations and Customs agent John Sherrill.
Those videos included images of Mansfield Dam in Austin, Texas; the MARTA transit system in Atlanta, Georgia; the Downtown Transit Center and Downtown Metro Trolley in Houston, Texas; and trolley cars in Dallas and New Orleans, Louisiana, the affidavit said.
