Photography of Military aircraft
I'm just wondering how long it will be before our lords and masters realise that they are missing an opportunity to widen the police state we are becoming, and put a blanket ban on all military aircraft photography. If anyone thinks this is a ridiculous fear, they should be aware that railway enthusiasts are routinely stopped by rail company employees, and even worse by British Transport Police, and quite incorrectly told they are committing an offence by photographing trains on railway property. How long before some aircraft enthusiast pointing his lens over a fence is arrested by the local fuzz or the Mod Plod with the official secrets act being vaguely quoted as reason for the harrassment.

It's already happened - in Greece. Some will recall the pair(?) of Brit plane spotters who were gaoled some years ago for photographing airborne Greek AF aircraft during an exercise.
Ahhh... now that I've read page 1, I see Pontious beat me to pointing that out.
