It started way before 911. Years ago dad and I were in a fancy mall with glass domed ceiling. He was shooting a 35mm slr and I had my Minox B spy camera. Security guard runs up to tell dad he can't take pictures in the mall. As he was being lectured I was 6 ft away taking pics thru the whole thing. Security guard never even figured out I had a camera. Dad was watching and trying to not bust out laughing.
One night we are out shooting available light shots of the concrete plant when a pickup truck stopped to inform us we couldn't take pics of that. Dad listened a few seconds and told the men "if I wanted to steal your secrets I have a lens big enough to do it half a mile away and you would never know it". "If I were stealing secrets that is what I would do instead of standing out here in the open". They drove off.
