I have read about this ordeal, but the video is great!
I think fighting back with shame is the way to go.
Amazing, the guy still plans to enter the contest !!

Great video, Erik. It's good to know that terrorists will be easy to spot. They'll have dslrs mounted on tripods. None of them would think of using their cell phone cameras or little point and shoots. Our society's reaction to 9/11 never ceases to amaze me.

:biggrin: That's hilarious. For us I mean not for the poor photographer. It also looked to me like he just had a monopod. Imagine if he had a real tripod. :rolleyes: Seriously though, aren't we getting too serious about this? And what if he was just a decoy for the real terrorists? :eek:
