[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Train Guy 3</i> <br /><br />You see U.S. military equipment in action all the time on CNN. What's the big deal about taking a photo of it going down the track in the U.S. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />First of all, Let me clarify that I'm not some "rah rah,.. go team!" patiotic nutjob trying to stand up for our military against what you say. <br /> <br /> <br />But, I think what you are overlooking is how carefully set up, and screened , those CNN news videos are, before they ever get piped into your living room. <br /> <br />They make dang sure nothing sensitive is on those loops before they ever go public <br /> <br />Which is one reason that israel attacks Palestinian TV stations as though they were military targets, but that is a seperate subject. <br /> <br />A person photographing armored personnel carriers shipped on flats, on the other hand, is totally beyond the military's control, and could just as easily be looking for vulnerabilities...THAT is why they don't want you photo'ing them <br /> <br />Don't worry though,...as with all things, it's only a crime if you get caught.
