Sneaking a Photo for you or for Terrorists???
Last year I went to a swimming competition at a county pool.
I was singled out because I had a DSLR Camera with a LONG LENS.
I was told "No Photographs Allowed"
I promised I would not take any and then they allowed me to continue inside. (with the camera)
I felt like you did, looking over my shoulder to see if someone was watching or following me. I took the pics anyway and no one cared.
I think that is all about them letting you know that they have "done their job" by telling you that you cant, and after they have fulfilled their obligation they look the other way.
In the mean time, there were at least 100 people taking photos with point and shoot cameras, and Im sure I was the only one approached.

On another note, the world is worried about terrorists taking pictures of potential targets. Now having said that, if you travel, you know you have seen signs especially at Airport Boarding areas that say NO PHOTOS. So I wondered about the legality of this. I wrote a letter to the TRANSPORTATION SECURITY AGENCY (TSA) asking where I could see the WRITTEN Law that prohibits the taking of photographs. I never got a reply! If any of you have seen this law I sure would like to see it!
