If so, the officer doing it should be fired, perhaps even charged with assault, since there is no basis for physically assaulting someone merely because they're wearing a fanny pack, even if they're big and tough, much less if they're old and frail.
While I agree with you in principal, it still could happen. His is not exactly like this one
http://www.511tactical.com/All-Products ... -Pack.html
but it is the same setup with a large over the shoulder strap and the pouch part positioned under his non-dominant arm. I wouldn't have thought that it would attract any attention but based on the number of times that it has already, the possibility is there.

He is totally oblivious to all gun related matters. He is the amateur radio liaison to clearly posted 30.06 hospital and attends meetings there. The amateur radio club meetings in the PD/court building (there is no security checkpoint prior to the meeting room) and going to events like the EP one in the high school pose risks to him that he does not understand. I know that he has gone to Grapevine Mills Mall, too. If I were to develop a set of high risk places for him to visit, I could probably not build one better than the one that he already has developed completely innocently. I'm afraid that it would only take a MWAG report from citizen who recognized the pouch for a bad chain of events to start.
If that's justified, then there is no reason they couldn't do the same to anyone without their shirt tucked in, wearing a coat, or with a bulging pocket.
