An Undesirable
I'm slightly worried that I've slowly become accustomed and accepting of authority. In my experience the police have always come to my rescue when any issue concerning photography has arisen.
The 'mall cops' and occasionally the odd member of public may have queried my intentions but the police have always been knowledgeable and reasoned enough to let me carry on once they've arrived. I imagine that the security forces are looking at other 'giveaways,' evidence, odd activity than public photography.
The potential fear factor within the public domain and what we're left with in a number of years time is far more concerning to me. If public anxiety allows us to give up some of our hard fought (thankfully not by me I hasten to add) freedoms in the way that petty greed led us to search for every way imaginable to sue over what was once called an accident, in return for a (usually fairly) small sum of compensation and ever increasing insurance premiums surely led to us eroding our own ability to take responsibility for ourselves. The Law is usually a slow and cumbersome creature that doesn't react too well to change, however, fear and a strong public perception (possibly misconception) to that/those fear(s) can make all too swift and ill thought through changes.

I'd agree, and they're far more inhibiting to my photography than t****ists and the fear of it.
