 My goodness....  I seem to remember someone getting arrested here in the States for taking pictures of a major 
bridge as well...  
  

I told someone on the list that you are on way to totalitarian state.

This is similar to the way it was here before revolution. Communists 
banned taking pictures of "military objects", such as railway stations, 
aiports, bridges, ... I laughed when united states came up with the war 
on terrorism. It remembered me of fighting with internal enemy in the 
days of communism. Internal enemy was someone considered hostile to the 
regime, but was mostly constructed by propaganda. Similar propaganda to 
the one you have against terrorists.

The label "beware! the enemy is listening" on military phones and 
transmitters from that days just popped in my mind... :-)
