If you see a photograph, just shoot it...if you start thinking you most probably will miss your shot. Asking permission is not needed when you shoot in a public space. Every object that's located in a public place (people, animals, objects) can't do nothing legally (except giving you a kick under your *ss, but than they're doing something illegal) when you shoot them there.

I think the lady you wanted to photograph was of the kind that's always making a problem out of everything. Don't feel embarrased for that. Next time...just shoot!!! Best Geert

I think we all should shoot what we shot before 9/11...if terrosists need a picture of your beloved golden gate bridge they can find tousands of them (close ups, general views, technical details, etc...) on the internet from before 9/11. The US government just took away one more freedom from the citizens of the land of freedom and by doing that they succeed very well in creating their atmosphere of fear and paranoia. If you want to shoot the bridge just do it. And if anyone tries to stop you tell them you live in the land of freedom and that taking pictures is not a crime. The US government can take away all your freedom without stopping the threat of terrorism. Best Geert
