If a cop wanted to be an ass (I am talking a really big ass); he will give you a ticket for diving under a bridge.
And which ordinance, code, or statute would be quoted on the ticket?

Don't dive with your turban on and you're good to go.
i would assume that there is a list of "targets" that fall under the security umbrella of DHS. and that all bridges are under thier jurisdicton but may not be important enough to warrent the additional prohibition of certain pracatices that the DHS may impose. IE a bridge in mid kansas on some country road vs. a bridge supporting a main highway that carries trafic to stratigic areas, military areas, power plant access roads, waterways if blocked would prevent passage of ships, evacuation routes ect. And which ordinance, code, or statute would be quoted on the ticket? violation of DHS act ##.##.#### or patriot act clause ####. Anoher example is you may be able to malinger in a city park but not at a community water supply/resavoir or refinery under similar provisions.
There is no such code as "DHS act" nor "patriot act clause".
Local police can only enforce local and state codes, not federal.
Reservoirs are often used for fishing and diving.
Refineries are private property.
Stop spoiling the paranoia!
