Trena, that's the stupid thing about the police actions: there are just too many people taking photos just about everywhere for stopping and searching them to deter or catch would-be terrorists.

The daft thing is Trena, if you take pictures with a point-and-shoot of someone stiffly standing in front of a famous landmark (prime potential terrorist target) you almost certainly won't be stopped. Take any picture of some obscure office block using a dSLR, you can probably expect to attract the attention of the (invariably jobs-worth) security guards, who will call the police. There is a lack of common sense and a surfeit of paranoia in the UK at the moment.
We got through the 1970s and 1980s threat from the IRA without these restrictions.

If I wanted some photos of anything for terrorism all I would have to do is use a mobile phone some of which have 5 or more mega pixels and no one would bother. Plenty of detail. Alternatively stand someone in front of the landmark and include what you want in the background. P&S of course as every one knows terrorists only use DSLR's. For even more details of many targets including structural plans and full detail including aerial shots just spend a few minutes on the internet with Google or other search engine and Google Earth. IF you have a DSLR you are almost certainly a terrorist and definately suspicious.

It really is becoming ludicrous...I can understand the prohibition of tripods at certain places ..at certain times ....but truthfully would a 'terrorist' need to go out and take pictures prior to an attack ...when I would imagine that virtually every landmark or building has already been photographed and posted on the web a thousand times over.....call me cynical but the recent 'high alert' would not have anything to do with president Blair appearing before the enquiry on Iraq this week..."means of justification "
