America is such an unfriendly place. I take a photo on my holiday in New York an they stop me and write down my details.

   Well I guess it’s to get out of dodge and hit the road home.

   Please don’t judge everyone in our country by this very unpleasant experience. I am sorry that you will take this unhappy memory back to India after your holiday.

   Actually the same thing happened where I live, my class took a trip downtown to take some pics of buildings and we got stopped by the police. Apparently, after 9/11, a bunch of cities don’t let people take unauthorized pictures of buildings because they might use them for terroristic reasons

   they are worried about terrorists

   my freind is a 68 yr old white man with a crew cut and they
   asked him for his information

   while he was photographing a bridge

   so don’t feel bad they do this a lot now.
   it’s not profiling it’s paranoia

   their afraid after 9/11 cause if you take pics you could like be able to tell how the building is made and stuff so you could blow it up or whatever……i know it kinda sux but i mean they do it to everyone not just ppl from out of america but americans aswell….sry =[
