The caveat is that you could be arrested for no good reason and detained indefinitely until your crime can be clarified. Sorry I'm going off topic.

Did you ask him "for what"? In the future, though, you may want to go into
the bank (or what ever it is you are photographing) before hand and simply
make contact with someone of "authority" and make them aware of what you are
doing...note I didn't say "ask permission"...

As far as I am concerned, you were completely within your legal rights to be
taking pictures as you were. Now, there is some caveat to that in the new
PatRIOT Act, and I'm not sure what it is...and someone else may know.
