    Photographer's Rights Protest NYC

    > The restritictions are only against the tripod, not the camera.

    Next thing you know, they won't allow us to even take the tripod in a bag to the airport. On a different note, that's the one bag that you can bet the TSA will open every time, one which contains a tripod.

    Photographer's Rights Protest NYC

    The tripod restriction isn't a security issue; it's a liability issue. You can take your tripod on a subway (just as you can carry baseball bats, swords, clubs, battering rams, Sawzalls, sledgehammers, axes, and what have you), but you can't set it up without a permit, for fear that someone will trip over it and sue you, the Metro Transit Authority, and the City of New York.
