Subject: [Leica] Photos on public transit

I heard on the radio that after the bombing, London police asked anyone who 
took photographs on or around the transit systems that morning to please 
contact them--that such photos might help the investigation.

Ironic, considering the (now dropped)  proposal banning photography on the 
NY subways without a permit, and a host of other knee-jerk photo bans real, 
proposed, and made up on the spot by zealous cops and rent-a-cops.  Could 
this mean that in future we might be *encouraged* to take photos on transit 
systems, rather than being viewed as potential terrorists if we do so?
