I don't think it's a real good idea to start pointing fingers at other countries when it comes to the state abrogating individual rights. How many Americans have been harrassed since 9/11 for taking photos of power stations, train tracks, other institutions and installations? This is a widespread problem. It has less to do with the actual laws of a particular country than it does with over-zealous law enforcement officers everywhere who know that they can intimidate civilians. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
