Was catching up on the news on the nytimes.com site and found this article. Thought you all might be interested in it since it relates to photography. You might have to log in to view the article, and I think the link may only be active for a few days. Let me know what you think, and if it works.

I thought it was kind of interesting to see how this whole terrorism thing has affected our everyday lives. It's tough to find a balance between safety and too many restrictions. I'm not too happy about what their doing in New York...what do you guys think?

"Just" another over-the-top off-the-wall attempt to give the appearance of more security. As a Computer Associates billboard/ad (brick wall with 9, count 'em, 9 alarm bells on it) had it: "More Security Doesn't Make You More Secure".

I think they will be making a lot of cash off of people's cameras at the police auctions. I used to think California was a police state (ever cross the border in a car), but I feel sorry for NY as a shining example of repression at work.

Seriously, this is one just plain stupid law.
