Manchester man arrested for alleged sewer-grate photography, held as a terrorist

Since 9/11, there has been an increasing war on photography. Photographers have been harrassed, questioned, detained, arrested or worse, and declared to be unwelcome. We’ve been repeatedly told to watch out for photographers, especially suspicious ones. Clearly any terrorist is going to first photograph his target, so vigilance is required.
Except that it’s nonsense. The 9/11 terrorists didn’t photograph anything. Nor did the London transport bombers, the Madrid subway bombers, or the liquid bombers arrested in 2006. Timothy McVeigh didn’t photograph the Oklahoma City Federal Building. The Unabomber didn’t photograph anything; neither did shoe-bomber Richard Reid. Photographs aren’t being found amongst the papers of Palestinian suicide bombers. The IRA wasn’t known for its photography. Even those manufactured terrorist plots that the US government likes to talk about — the Ft. Dix terrorists, the JFK airport bombers, the Miami 7, the Lackawanna 6 — no photography.
Given that real terrorists, and even wannabe terrorists, don’t seem to photograph anything, why is it such pervasive conventional wisdom that terrorists photograph their targets? Why are our fears so great that we have no choice but to be suspicious of any photographer?

I use it 1 or 2 times a week.
With flash sometimes.
Most of the time Landscape.
What I do do is turn off the camera after I take a shot or 2.
Sometimes auto focus on sometimes off.
I never review my photos till I get home.
Remove the SD card and upload them to PC.
Not viewing them comes from all my years with MX.
When using a roll of 36 you spend a lot of time making the shot count.
Even with my K20D I can take 300 shots. Still do not to waste a shot.
Could be the reason I get battery life.
Did not get the same with my *istDL. Had to always make sure my batteries were fully charged. Kept extra with me at all times and a car charger if I need a quick charge. Was using 2700 too.

Miss the point here.

One time it is ok to take a tripod on board and the next time it is not??
Buy a bullet proof camera case so some meat head security guard and do what he wants with you expenses cameras and will not break it?
What about being more down to earth and treat the persons and their personal items with respect??
Why must we be look at as a terrorist first and just a traveler after we get through the security check?

I am more concern about how good is the pilot and is the Jet maintained correctly. Take a look at this website link. As you can see a lot of pilot error and was the Jet maintained correctly, and bad weather……..

I am all for security, but how far does it have to go? I put my backpack in the tray to be x-rayed. (Brussels’s Airport) The security guard did not like the way I put it in. He picked it up and slammed it down in the try the way he wanted it. All my camera equipment was in it. I almost yelled at the guard to watch it. But I remained calm. You must be courteous and cooperate. 4 weeks before that one of my friends was traveling to Italy with his tripod and camera. He has been a pro photographer for over 35 years. They told him that his tripod could be a weapon. They gave him a hard time because, get this they did not know you use it for a camera.
Back to my travel there was an elderly couple in front of me must have been in there late 80’s. Same guard telling the old man to take off his belt and shoes and turns to his wife and said it in a loud voice take off you shoes to her. Now I do not know of and 80 year old couple that has hijacked a plane or blew one up. I would think security guards need to user some discretion in there work. He would not know that this couple could have been holocaust survivors, telling them to take belts and shoes off.
Do not get me wrong I am all for security but lets not over do it.

In America you no longer able to lock your luggage. All luggage that is checked in can not longer be locked so security and open and inspect you personal things. Now anyone from security can look through all your things. What happened to the use of x-ray? Do they really need to open each and every luggage? Then to put a nice slip back in your luggage telling you they have inspected your personal things.

A co worker left for the U.S.A. and is an American. He took a couple of baby toys for his young one to play with on the flight from Brussels to Ohio. No problem taking the toys to American. But on the return flight they did not let him take them back. He had to give them to his sister to mail them back to him.

Last year on my return flight from Italy the security guard opened my camera case and saw that it was a camera. Then turned to me and asked me if I was a photographer!! I just looked at him and said I think I am.

Do not get me wrong I am all for security but lets not over do it.

I got my K20D back in November charged my battery up. Them picked up a battery grip 2 weeks later and charged up that battery.
I just now got a low battery indicator on the screen. I must say I am very please with how long you can go with 2 batteries on the K20D.

I found a website that has extra monitor you can add to the K7 in HD video capabilitie and the K20D in "Live Mode"

For those who like extra toys for your camera.........

Ikan 5.6" HD LCD monitor that can be used with the new K-7, especially when using the HD video capabilities. It uses the new HDMI connection on the K-7. This little gem makes shooting video like you were a film producers. I will have a full review of it's usefulness with the K-7. You can actually use it with the K20D as well in the "Live Mode" or also simply use the larger 5.6" monitor instead of the 2.7" LCD. It is so much easier to look at the results instantly while in the field, away from your computer.
