The terrorist won because now we have clueless police with zero common sense treating everyone like a terrorist.

Welcome to the UK...:-(
Usually it's not the police, but concerned members of the public that are the major pain.

Welcome to the world of diversity and terrorism. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, grandmas are getting patted down at most any airport. Be sure and thank the Scots for the release of the convicted PanAm bomber (for undisclosed compensation) to happy crowds in the desert. That made the PanAm victims' families very happy. I worked with two that died.

Take your pick, and these are just the ones that make the news...
Amateur photographer 'arrested' for police officer pic news - Amateur Photographer - news, camera reviews, lens reviews, camera equipment guides, photography courses, competitions, photography forums
Photographer in Christmas lights 'terror' stop (update 1pm) news - Amateur Photographer - news, camera reviews, lens reviews, camera equipment guides, photography courses, competitions, photography forums
BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Innocent photographer or terrorist?

As I said before, the worst ones are the concerned members of the public that see this non-sense and then feel empowered to do the same.

Ah. "Diversity and terrorism." Cause no one *ever* got hurt in the name of conformity or anything...

Fffft.
