We arrived the day of the bombing, literally the morning of the bombing. Later in the week, we flew to Edinburgh, and police are walking the station in pairs with rifles. One pair was questioning a lady because she snapped a photo of the airport, and they were going through her camera looking for something. The interesting thing with digital cameras is that they can review all your photos on the spot. What if it were film, would they confiscate the entire film? I wasn't going to ask. In London, a security person shouted to another tourist, after she snapped a photo, that she wasn't allowed to take any more. I also saw a sign somewhere (subway, train station, can't remember) that said "NO FLASH PHOTO's". It is interesting that the first and only footage of the 7/7 event were phone video and phone photos? How times have changed. I wonder if there has been any film footage that has been taken or analyzed at all, except for the surveillance cameras (aren't they video, on tape?), Regards, Vick Ko
