As well as being irrelevant to my comments. It is NOT *ILLEGAL* to
take any of those photographs. It might not be liked, it might cause
you trouble, but I still haven't seen an article detailing the
conviction of someone taking these pictures - much less the actual LAW
that was broken and which they COULD be convicted of.

Further, an unconstitutional law is not a law...see Jefferson.
