I mean who could ever imagine that taking a photo of a train would be such a terrible thing to do. But some people chose to use attacks and spread fear over them, so they can control the population.
I sure hope locking the end doors isn't included in the Register. That makes me feel less safe. There was a story about a fire on a funicular (I'm probably not spelling it right) the other night on TV, and because the end doors were locked, people were trapped in a fire. It is important we write the media about this proposed photo ban and get noticed. We need to make people realize this isn't just about photography.
Sure, it may seem like a small thing to must, since most photographers like scenery and other stuff and most ppl don't take photos in the subway. But it's one more step in the erosion of civil liberties. People need to be convinved that trading away civil liberties for a sense of "false" security is the wrong road to go down.
Also with many small cameras available nowadays, a photo ban will do nothing to stop those determined to get their photos.
