Well,I am sorry to say that this is our own fault. And as long as it goes un
contested it will continue.
The problem is, most people dont want  to challenge the fine law enforcement
people.

I beleive in the case of the taking pictures of the KC130T at Patrick, I
would have entertained those MP's with some of my own questions and not
handed over the camera.  (Ive been thru this in theory at a nearby facility
with the chief of security concerning the taking of pictures of arriving and
departing military a/c)

So sad

David
