[Scan-DC] Plane Watchers Harassed at Connecticut Airport for Taking Photos

[Greg Danes]

​Well what else is there to expect. First train spotters then plane
spotters, what's next? DCFD going encrypted? what gives? The bad guys
mostly are not smart enough to use a scanner, and even so would use a cell
phone app. Lets get real here, more eyes and "EARS" on the street mean
better chances of getting the crooks. Some poor dude sitting at a terminal
with a airband radio? Give me a break. What harm is he causing.
