Terrorism Paedophile Alert

Postby Glen on Wed Feb 21, 2007 2:26 pm

Thought I should make everyone aware of a potential threat. As many know I was in the city last night with the 200,00 strong crowd and every second person had a camera. That is 100,000 cameras!! Ipso facto there will be a wave of terrorism and paedophilia overtaking Sydney right now.

Unless of course, every busybody, cop, security guard who thinks camera = terrorist/paedophile is wrong. :wink:

Will no-one think of the children? :x

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

P&S? Don't you mean mobile phone cams? I thought the terrorists used the P&S cameras...

Oh I see, it's interchangeable.

That makes figuring out which is which a whole lot harder!

Of course Glen forgot to mention anyone with a big lens is just a paparazzi!

And having too look up Minox I see what you mean :shock:

about a year ago i was in an industrial estate by the airport for work, we stopped for sum lunch by the side of the road, i had my old fuji S5500 so took a few snaps of the planes coming in low. 2 hours later i get a ring from the cops....sumone saw the phone number on the side of the van, reported us to the terrorism line, then my boss gave them my fone number......after the cop told me my response was..."ur not F^%&*$ serious are you"!!! i said i was an avation enthusist and had many flying hours under my belt, they then asked for my log book as proof, needless to say after i hung up i never heard from them again....soooo bloody stoopid!!!
