Good points. However the times places and reasons, in my experience, have 
become ridiculous. In the past, pre-9/11, I pretty much knew when and where 
I might expect a discussion with authority, or actual confrontation, or 
possible arrest. My most recent experiences, since-9/11, have felt strangely 
silly. I'm adapting and my sensibility is shifting to expect being 
approached by authority any place and any time for any reason. This doesn't 
feel good. The next step is to be stopped and talked to even without a 
camera - just because they can.

Fond regards,
