Ban on Subway Photography Prompts Underground Protest

Sometimes an antedote says it all:

Mr. Anastasio went on to tell the story of a friend who took his wife's picture near the Whitestone Bridge, only to be called in for questioning by the police. He told another of a man caught snapping pictures at a Metro-North station who was interrogated for nearly two hours by authorities at the scene.

"The paranoia," he said, "has gone a little too far."

Indeed it has ...

About 100 photographers expressed their outrage at a proposed ban on taking pictures in the New York subway system.
