About two weeks ago, a friend of mine was photographing a visiting KC-130T  
landing at Patrick.  My friend was standing on the beach across the street  
from Patrick AFB and photographing the plane as it was flying over the 
beach  toward the approach end of Rnwy 29.
 
The Patrick MPs came along, demanded the camera and asked my buddy how to  
delete the photos.  He told them how, and they deleted the photos.   They 
chewed him out a bit before departing.  No threats, but a good chewing  out.
 
This is utter foolishness because you can take the same photos from an  
automobile if you drive along A-1A, the highway between the beach and the  
Patrick grounds.  Utter foolishness.
