I was beginning to wonder. These anti photo rules were made on the basis
of 
Homeland Security. Some make sense, others are ridiculous. Think of a 
bureaucracy that doesn't want criticism, so they get Federal funding. then
a 
portion of the funding is used to hire somebody to write rules that that
are 
used to justify the funding. This happens with any bureaucracy. Since 
unspent money may not get replaced in the following budget year, it must
be 
spent, whether needed or not.
