Of cource it's rediculous to suggest all photographers are terrorists. Some of them are pedophiles trying to take photos of small children, and some are just perverts in general.

Thankfully in the UK at least it doesn't seem like photography has such a problem as in some places. Most of the trouble seems to come from jobsworths trying to implement none existant rules rarther than a genine fear that the photographer may be more than they seem. I don't think the public sees a particular threat from photographers either.

I have found that I now have to be very obvious when taking photos of my two grandchildren now; mainly having to restrict them to ones including their grandmother or ones where they are well in the clear of others.

Putting the jobsworths to one side I have also become awarer that I am very aware of my position almost to embarrassment these days as well. Maybe it's just me but I find the people around me now make ME feel very uncomfortable about taking photos.
