Great, now we need a de-coder ring to see when/if we can take pictures!  This is really getting out of hand.

Subject: Risks of Doing Homework
At the faculty meeting at Bryn Mawr College on 12 Feb 2003, we were
informed
that a student at Haverford (our affiliated College) was arrested over the
weekend when he was trying to do his homework assignment in Philadelphia.
As part of the Cities project, he was taking photographs of SEPTA (our
regional transit authority) facilities when he was arrested, detained for
a
few hours, and eventually released.  Haverford administration is working
to
try to ensure that this event not be a part of the student's permanent
police record.  Apparently taking photographs at transit facilities is
cause
for arrest during "Code Orange" alert, the authorities explained.  Faculty
were advised to be careful about assigning "field trip" projects during
such
alerts."
