Some pics i took similar to the one below got me into LOTS of trouble back home in Bahrain. I was stopped by the Bahrain coast guard, my boat was towed to Coast guard head quarters and fully searched, interrogated by Bahrain officials, interrogated by US Navy "migration threat" interrogator, forced to delete the photos, got my camera confiscated for a few days, got interrogated again by Bahrain officials, had to write down why i took the photos and sign that i will not take any more photos, and worst of all I had my boat confiscated for around 3 months as it sat at a stupid port getting banged and bashed. Those were a couple of pictures i wish i never took

I've taken pix at a couple of airports before and it made me nervous. I have never been bothered while doing it, though. Then again, I only snapped a couple pix but still.

I remember last time I went to Mexico... on the way in, some old skeevy older guy wanted to take a picture of this hot customs agent. He tried to sneak a picture in, but in the process his flash went off and she noticed it. She literally called for backup and had guns drawn on that guy. I guarantee you he crapped his pants, and then prolly went to the dog house since his wife was standing right next to him.
