Why are togs terrorists?

A couple of good quotes:

  • If we teach everyone to be alert for photographers, and terrorists don't take photographs
  • And even if terrorists did photograph their targets, the math doesn't make sense. Billions of photographs are taken by honest people every year, 50 billion by amateurs alone in the US. And the national monuments you imagine terrorists taking photographs of are the same ones tourists like to take pictures of. If you see someone taking one of those photographs, the odds are infinitesimal that he's a terrorist.

Thanks for posting :)
 
It certainly has a lot of links although i'm not convinced hollywood is to blame for the link between terrorism and photography. Thanks for posting it.
