I think I've worked out the pseudo logic behind this - "Let's act so scared about Terrorism that they'll think we aren't worth bombing anymore"

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot ;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning matchHolloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar,'
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head,
Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead.- yeah except old guy fawkes was a moron. hardly a great role model for sedition.airey

It just gives cops an even easier reason to justify an on the spot search/interrogation. Since if they witness someone snapping pics, they're obviously in the vicinity and now they can say that they suspect you may have snapped a pic with them in it.... so lets take a look there.

Well, thats gonna be a pain in the arse. Knowing this, even if you're taking a photo of one of them in frame, they're gonna give you some serious hassle if it wasn't your intent to take a photo of them.
- We'll just have to ask the police to get out of our shots.. or.. talk to the IPCC after each discussion.ribit

Bill Brandt, Cartier-Bresson, Elliot Erwitt, the list of Magnum greats from the 50's through Martin Parr... would all be arrested... I can imagine them all in jail.. a strange idea...
