Was he arrested because of the terrorism angle? If so, I wonder if he would have been arrested if he had been carrying a tape recorder. Another point, if a bomb had been detonated, would he have been arrested if his pictures captured the culprits trying to get away, or hailed as a hero. In the UK London bombings a few years back, the police actively sought the assistance anyone who may of taken pictures, to help them find the culprits. The sad fact is, we now live in a world where a generation of social pictures and stories will be lost because of the easy target of photography, if your not a terrorist, your a pervert. If your not a pervert, your a paedophile. It must be true.
