Dave, this is for IP:

I had about an hour to kill today in Washington, so I decided to wander
down towards the White House and check out the latest security measures.

On my way, I passed the Department of Commerce, so I crossed the street
and took a picture, figuring I could use it in some future PowerPoint
presentation describing the DNS root and all that.

I managed just one shot:

...before I was told by a police officer that "you cannot photograph the
entrance of any Federal building."

So, there you have it. It's obviously very dangerous to allow a tourist
like me to just go around taking pictures in public places. Since the
picture actually doesn't show the entrance (if it did it's been cropped
;-) I feel my Greencard is probably safe, but you and your readers have
been warned.

I am not making this up!

Ole
