The one laughing at the guy having his film confiscated. But who was that weirdo guy with the Nikon, the hairnet and shawl? Latest on this evil photographers menacing security here is the talkback radio response by radio official when quizzed about harassment of a journalist. I paraphrase: You should obtain prior permission before photographing any news event that may occur You may not post any photographs on the web because that's where terrorists get their information We do not distinguish different parts of railway property. You may not photograph the ticketing machines (response was that you have pictures of them on your own website) (Surely you don't need prior permission to photograph your loved ones as they board the train to leave?) You should make yourself known to railway staff before taking that photograph.
