From: Richard Forno <rforno () infowarrior org> ... a Maryland woman who was stopped by police and questioned after commuters saw her taking photographs of the wrought-iron lampposts at the Odenton train station.
In the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's, Americans were feeling high and mighty when comparing the USA and the USSR. "In the Soviet Union, you can get arrested just for taking pictures in the public areas of a train station. Apparently they consider it a military secret what their train stations look like." The few people who traveled to Russia were cautioned about how "normal" behavior was dangerous in that atmosphere of a country rules by the military and the secret police. Oh, how times have changed. / Lars Poulsen ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
