Ok being at the airport in question when Air Force One and the President of the US was there and carrying a gun might be perceived as being a little un-wise, but it was not a gun being waived that caused the guy to be arrested. They only found the gun which he had a permit for as a concealed weapon when we was arrested. The thing that caused the guy to be hauled over was his amateur radio number plates,camera and aerials. Could this happen in the UK?
Ok, put the gun aside, we are not allowed to carry such things, but cameras yes, radio equipment yes. These post 9/11 and &/& days the taking of photos now especially in towns and cities causes ‘involvements’ from, security, police and the general public. My cameras now stays at home, but it seems to be acceptable to use your camera phone???
Radio equipment, well that’s another story….
