I had heard of this plan while in NYC this last October, the gist being
that terrorists may decide to take photgraphs of the subway network as a
preperation for some devious plot. What I also remember reading is that
the MTA would issue you a one day permit to photograph, I have to assume
that they would also require you to submit to a background check prior
to receiving any permit. While I am completely cognizant of the need for
caution in the new reality we live in, the other half of me questions
the tact behind this ban. My thinking is that this will have about as
much to do with national security as the banning of nail clippers from
airliners. I don't want anyone to think I have an anarchistic bent; as I
am employed in the field, at least on the periphery. This all smells
like horse pucky to me. If I had been in the area, I probably would have
been there, pinhole camera in hand. Excuse the rant but remember: when
cameras are outlawed-only the outlaws will have cameras. Count me in,
