Ahaa! Now I know who that cute babe with the camera was on the YouTube
video. 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.

Cheers
Geoff

It's you guys who are bad.  I photographed at Coney Island last 
week-end - rides, kids, nearly naked people.  Nobody bothered a 62 
year old grandma with a "point and shoot" M8  ;-)
