Eric makes some good points about the difference between freedom and
privilege. And it is true that the function of the bridge is to move
vehicular traffic, so security and function need to be balanced. The
bridge was not built to provide a platform for birders, but neither
was it built to provide a platform for fishing, a restaurant, gift
shop, and restrooms. These were all perks. As far as I am aware,
these privileges and amenities have not been restricted. Birders have
been singled out, it appears to me, and I see them as no more of a
security threat than fishermen(women), diners, or shoppers.

First, it is necessary to recognize that we are not really
talking about freedom, per se, but privilege. Our access to the
CBBT was not a freedom available to the general public, but rather
a special privilege available only to a relatively few letter holders.
