yeah, well, in a mind-numbingly misguided attempt to protect us the mta is planning on banning all non-press photography in subway stations and cars. guess they don’t want terrorist powerpoint presentations to be too well illustrated (unless they manage to get a phony press card that is… hmmm… i smell a ban on all color laser printers coming). am i crazy or is this a bit on the wrong minded side? i guess to assist authorities in recognizing things which might be “ought of the ordinary” the simplest course of action is to just outlaw the ordinary, thereby making the ability to distinguish between the two unnecessary? i mean it’s no big deal, but i have to imagine there are other measures which might be higher on the precaution list. in any case, though not yet official, the enforcers are already enforcing.
