Subject: London police launch anti-photography counter-terrorism PR campaign

In what I can only view as troubling and a move surely to invite more
backlash against photographers, London's Metropolitan police has
launched a new counter-terrorism PR campaign complete with
anti-photography propaganda.

The campaign is meant to encourage people to turn in "odd" seeming
people that they see taking photographs.

"Thousands of people take photos every day," reads their advertisement
being run in London's major newspapers. "What if one of them seems odd?"
