The media does not whip ME or MY family into near hysteria. <br /> <br />The closest we got to feeling concern was when we watch the United States Marines clear out a iraqi stronghold live on satellite as it happened. We did not want any of those boys hurt. <br /> <br />I find it interesting to see that the media keeps a clean photo set in the USA, not much is made of railfans and really graphic photos can be found on the internet. <br /> <br />I believe that you can take a picture or video of whatever you want, as long you dont trespass. Shooting from a public property is perfectly fine. I have shot trains and such from inside a legally parked car without too much trouble. I dont shoot trains often enough to have any trouble with anyone. <br /> <br />I have been into installations where they ban cameras and recording devices. I have personally witnessed blogs where employees in computer companies have been fired for making pictures of loading docks and trailers (With computers in them) availible on the net in violation of his company rules. <br /> <br />I have cheerfully shot trains out west from the side of the highway and recieved a toot from the whistle or a wave in response. I suspect that some regions people tend to be more "uptight" about others carrying cameras more so than others. <br /> <br />I for one dont intend on stopping the use of camera or camcorder any time soon. I understand the situation and will create a oppertunity to "Shoot" a subject when the time is right. Sorta like hunting a deer. You dont want the Bear stalking you at that time.
