Taking Pictures != Planning Terrorism

I was going through new photos in Zooomr today and ran across the photo above and it's related blog entry.

It seems as cameras were linked to planning terrorist attacks in the londonpaper in part of a 'see something suspicious/report it' campaign. While it feels a bit on the 'duh' side, it seems to be part of a bigger effort to restrict freedom based on fear.

This kind of thing pisses me off. God forbid I want to take a picture of my friends or of a neat building. It seems every week somebody gets harrassed for taking pictures.

Honestly?.. I think we should stage some kind of gigantic picture protest, gather peacibly, and take a picture of something.
