sigfreundThat’s cool.
I’ve tried a bit of that in my small town, and now that the visitors are flooding in, I should get back at it.
But a pass is required to take photos there—?

GustoferJust curious if you got their permission?
Maybe it's just me, but I don't want people I don't know taking my picture. Heck, I don't want people I
do know taking my picture.

For plane spotting it is, I think it's mostly so if someone calls the police because they see someone on a parking garage with a large camera the state police can just go "yeah, we know they're there".
It's a little overkill but... welcome to Massachusetts.

I know every suitcase I own except for one pelican has wheels and a handle. I don't think very many are made without wheels.

Interesting, thanks.
The US Capitol has/had a requirement to get a permit to use a tripod on the grounds. I suppose that made some sense so that a public event wouldn’t be overrun with big, bulky tripods and the inconvenience they can cause. After learning about the requirement I duly got a permit, and one early Sunday morning as I was shooting some closeups and we were about the only two people in sight, a Capitol police officer asked me if I had a permit, so it definitely was a thing.
On the other hand, restricting photographs at an airport? “[W]elcome to Massachusetts,” probably says it all. I mean, what’s the use of being able to make rules if we don’t make some?
