Some of the demonstrators in the WTO demos here in November were fond of spraying photographers' lens with some sort of dye or even Rustoleum (the .44 Magnum of spray paints), to avoid being identified doing something nasty. It was only marginally successful, with my favorite shot that week being the guy ripping the logo off the Niketown store--while wearing a pair of Nikes. As they say, keep your head on a swivel---given the way the demo in the City went last June, you can probably expect a stiffer response from the Metropolitan Police.
