Cotty,
I imagine we'd  be absolutely wacko over here if some terrorist bombed
a subway or bus, so I  understand somewhat.  What I don't get is the
focus on  photographers.
Once upon a time, I knew someone who wanted pictures inside  various
competitor's fast food outlets.  He took along a small child or  a
pretty girl and just took some 'vacation snaps'.  You can get  almost
anything you want that way and nobody can tell what you have  focused
on in the viewfinder.  A favorite was the Yashica T4? P&S  with the
secondary viewfinder on the top deck.  You never had to raise  the
camera to your eye.  Just wear it.
So I don't imagine that  'feeling the collar' of serious photographers
is gonna do you much  good.
Regards,  Bob S.

Ditto. I seriously doubt  any one (any country) is really going to turn up 
a serious terrorists with  random stops of photographers.
