I was told to stop taking pictures in a provincial Spanish station 
(Gandia) yesterday. The reason given was, of course, security.

It seems like a typical case of "we can't do anything tangible, so 
we'll make irrelevant rules anyway because it makes us feel better". I 
wonder if any of the London or Madrid bombers had pictures of the 
trains they blew up.
