[Leica] Forbidden building

[dnygr at cshore.com (dnygr)]

Yesterday while photographying in NYC, a man approached me and informed me 
that "it was against the law to photograph the building," the Credit Suisse 
bank. He had a red blazer on with somethings written on it. I don't know if 
he was a security guard or not.

I was taken aback by the man's statement. It was not the first time that 
near a bank someone had motioned for me not to take a photograph.

I hope the man felt better after warning me off. Keeping people with film in 
their cameras from taking photos will certainly make him and building 
safter. It is a well known fact that terrorists have not discoverd that 
digital cameras are easy to disguise in the palm of hand. It is also well 
known that terrorists are dumb, cowardly and unable to think of using a cell 
phone to take a photo. They would also never think of entering an adjoing 
building and taking a photo unobserved out the window or doing that from 
inside a passing car.

Has anyone on the lug experienced anything similar?
