<p>[quote user="SUX V R40 Rider"]</p> <p>Let's talk about public train facilities. Isn't Grand Central Terminal a public building? If it is is there a law, ordinance or signs posted prohibting photography in any of the public places of the building? If there are signs posted, is there actually a law or ordinance in place to back it up? If not why the rule against photography in the building?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I don't understand your analogy. Is there a prohibition against taking photographs in GCT?</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">There two distinct issues about railroad phtotography. One is that you can't trespass in order to take pictures. That has always been the case and the reasoning is understandable. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">The other issue is that a photographer might be a terrorist collecting visual information to plan a terrorist attack. That issue is much harder to pin down. Nobody has yet banned railroad photography because of that issue. It is just that Homeland Security believes that anyone photographing railroad facilities is a suspected terrorist and must be checked out to prove otherwise. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">What they have not figured out, however, is how to check out someone photographing trains and prove that he or she is not a terrorist. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">How would you accomplish that objective if you ran Homeland Security?</span></span></p> <p> </p>
