As someone who has taken a lot of photos of bridges around NYC, this really makes me nervous

Yeah our civil liberties are under assault all in the name of "security". I've been stopped a few times by cops for taking photos of trains. Unfortunately most people are buying this and have no problem giving away civil rights that are granted under the Constitution. They are also searching bags in NYC as well. Stuff like this kind of makes you think, "what are we fighting for?". We're supposed to be fighting for Democracy but in reality we're letting terrorists "win" by letting them change the way we live our lives. Since I don't want to be locked up or have my camera taken away I've shyed away from most railroad photography but will still take some photos in more isolated locations far away from NYC.
