i would be glad if someone did that to me.. (woulda shown ID though) they are trying to protect us from terrorist's trying to cause harm to the US people..

abide by the rules, and its simple!

Where are these rules outlined?

I was approached by Federal police officers near the Courthouse and I was on an adjacent street near by taking photos of a car. Wasnt being sneaky about it, nor trying to hide anything. The Fed took my camera looked it over, kept me for about 20 minutes, and even after showing my Military ID card, still gave me a hassle even though it was on a PUBLIC street.

So where do we draw the line? A 85 year old man got put in jail becuase he was taking photos of a building with an American flag. Yet there were no signs posted anywhere that any form of that activity was prohibited. Man, I guess they are trying to protect us from terrorists. Guess there were photographers taking photos of the World Trade Trade center from 9 different angles before the planes flew into them? Seriously, where is the line drawn from violating liberties to protecting people.
