"I visited downtown Silver Spring on June 23rd and to test a
theory about 'no photography' rules. My theory is this: 'No
photography' rules only apply to stand-alone cameras -- cameras that
can be seen. If you have a cell phone camera you can snap photos to
your heart's content and not be harassed at all. So I took my 3
megapixel Samsung D900 cell phone camera on a stroll through Ellsworth
Avenue. Up and down I snapped photo after photo, and as far as anyone
was concerned I was just having an extended phone conversation, I even
took a close-up of two security guards, whose function is, among other
things, to stop photographers." -- Bill Adler,
