Yes and no.  I don't think a hobbyist should be invading somebody's space
after a tragedy just to add to his collection.  That should be common
decency.  On the other hand, if the government is picking and choosing who
is a hobbyist and who is a bona fide journalist, then we no longer have a
truly free press.
