«BLOOMINGTON, Indiana (AP) -- The FBI acknowledged that a small plane whose frequent, unexplained flights over the city had raised fears among some residents is being used by the agency to monitor people who might have terrorist connections.

[...]Besides individuals, Fuentes and Davis said, the aircraft is monitoring vehicles and businesses -- particularly those open late at night from which faxes or e-mails can be sent.[...]»

Weren't many of the terrorist using student visas?

Since Bloomington is home to Indiana University and it probably has a decent amount of folks the FBI might be interested in as a result of their nationality, it stands to reason that the FBI is there.

However, I'm not sure how flying over the city will help. If there is anything we learned from the attacks is that we don't have enough human intelligence agents out there and rely too much on technology for our information.
