Better that than no security at all in these times, but I'm sure you could
talk yourself out of any trouble :-)))

Actually was stopped last year while at Republic Airport here on Long Island.
Was taking pictures of a nice bright red Bell 407. Got into my car and all of
a sudden "I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a police car" (mmmm, sounds
like a song to me, LOL). The officer from Suffolk Countys finest came over,
asked what I was doing. I explained and he took my license and registration to
"run it". Came back, apologized and said you cant be too careful. I told him
no problem, thanks and that was that. And I do have no problem with that. The
security at small airports like Republic is minimal at best and they do get
some nice large corporate jets (G IVs etc) that could do some damage if in the
wrong hands.

BTW, do you "old-timers" recognize where that above lyric comes from?
