No tape, quick tap on the shoulder and you were outta there, quick time! :) Subjected to that sort of hassle, I wouldn't have waited for a tap on the shoulder, but would have packed up my gear and gone back to the office - quick time! There are times - irrespective of the size or one's ego - when walking away is the only answer to the official rudeness which so often passes for "security". As an editor, I'd support any photographer working for me who packed his gear and went back to the office when faced with this sort of treatment. Regards, Doug Richardson
