What is this country coming to or to be more exact what HAS it come to.

I dont want to get embroiled in to an argument about who is a terrorist and who is not, we all know the seriousness of that situation, and indeed that is another thread for some other forum.

I can see the case from the security side of things and from the enthuiasts side of things, so why does someone not come up with an idea where perhaps anyone wanting to take photos of the railways or indeed aircraft if they are in to avaition (and there is a lot that are), so why cant there be some kind of booking system, or a phone number where you can phone up , give your name and address and the day and date you want to be at a particular location(s), then you could be given some sort of reference number or code and if you are challenged you refer to that and it can be checked, if it checks out you will be clear to take "pics" or film without any problems. If you do not register you will be moved off whatever site you are on.

Ye I know it sounds a bit far fetched, but at least it would be some kind of step in the right direction and it would save all these confrontations with "jobsworth" security guards.

But someone somewhere wants to do something positive a bit quick or else this kind of nonsense will just keep happening over and over again.
