With all the stress Ive been going through for the last few days, I went and took the Bx39 bus to Soundview to catch a few shots of the planes coming in on rwy22. About 12 minutes later some guy who was with a fisherman came and approached me and yelled out
(Guy) "Hey, what the hell are you doing
(Me) Im taking pictures of plane, why is that a problem?
(Guy) What u doing is illegal,
(Me) Oh yea, how is it illegal?
(Guy) You cannot catch anything coming in or out of the airports under the rule of TSA. I work for the TSA and there is a rule about it
(Me) Dude, thats a bunch of balony, TSA doesnt own the airports, its by PA, and PA doesnt have a rule saying that airplane photography is not allowed, the only thing u cant take photos of is the Checkpoints and People. You dont believe me, look it up, I know what im talking about.
(Guy) Well im telling u sir, the rules fall under TSA juristiction, not PA or the police, dont u know wats happening now, or are looking to take a plane out because u look very suspicious and if I call the police, they will tell u the same thing im telling u, you sir do not work for the TSA, i know the regulations.
(Me) You can call the cops, I have no problem with that, I rather talk to them anyway,
The guy walks away, he went straight to his friend and told him what I was doing and went straight to his phone. I hoped he would have called the cops, this was a bunch of BS how this guy came down on me, Im out there trying to take my mind off things by enjoying my hobby and this dummy had to mess it up for me like really? I got a problem with that, Ive been spotting from there since I was 14 years old and not once I had to have a fake like that dude approach me like he did
